We are very excited to be coming back to preschool. The Autumn term is a lovely term, with a range of weather! We may have warm days, wet days and chillier, darker days. We ask that children have a pair of wellies that they can leave in school. We are outside in all weathers, so children need to have warm clothes, coats, a change of clothes. The children are learning independence so having clothes that they can put on themselves is really important. Such as, loose fitting tracksuit bottoms or leggings, no buttons/dungarees, anything that might slow them down on their way to the toilet!
Our topic is “Marvellous me”.. We will be learning about our families, our body and healthy eating. As we go into Autumn we will be exploring colour and light.
We love to learn about God in preschool. This term we will learn about “Creation and Covenant.” We will listen to the creation story and early stories from Genesis. We pray daily in preschool. We learn about how God loves us and how he wants us to treat other people.
Our Barn-a-b’s team are here to help. The team are Cathy, Jane, Liia, Lisa, Tracey and Jess. You can talk to us in person, or on the online Tapestry platform.
You can buy your child a school dinners or they can bring a packed lunch. We have fruit for snack times. We encourage healthy eating at all times. Our EYFS framework requires us to support children and families with oral health. We ask that you do not bring sweets or cakes into school, for example at children's birthdays. It is really important that children limit their sugar intake. They should have around 6 teaspoons a day! That is not much at all, Therefore please do not put any confectionery, eg chocolate bars such as Mars, Cadburys and so on in there lunchboxes.
Our aim is for children to have fun while they learn. We want them to feel safe and cared for, like a home from home. We send regular updates on tapestry, and there will be an opportunity to come into preschool to meet your child’s barnabuddy later in the term.
