Week Commencing 15.07.24

Our theme is: Owls becoming Rabbits

I think the staff as well as the children will be feeling a mixture of feelings as we go into our final week; tiredness!, excitement for holidays, and some worries about changes ahead. We have a lovely final week planned for the children. In Owls class this will include lots of singing, poetry and dancing. Their chosen last pasta point treat is a disco/football party as voted for by the children. We also say goodbye to members of staff at Swing Gate this week too, including the lovely Mrs Lacey who has been in Owls this year. We have a surprise in store for Mrs G - shhh!


Big Thank yous! 

Our biggest thank you is for lending us your children this year. It really has been an absolute pleasure to teach them and watch them grow over the year. Not only have they progressed with their reading, writing and mathematic skills they have become more confident and self assured. We have also really seen some singing and dance talent amongst them! They have been an absolute delight as a class and we will miss them very much.

Thank you for being such super supportive families across the year. We have always had plenty of volunteers, good attendance for shared reading, grandparents day and for our stay and play day. We also really appreciated the visits from parents sharing about their jobs.

We were lucky enough to receive our gifts a bit early this year. These were extremely generous of you so a big thank you from all the team for these too. I especially love the photo on the card!  

We wish you all a very happy, safe and enjoyable summer holiday. I look forward to seeing the children return to school even taller next term! 

Much love and kindness to all of you,

Mrs Paynter, Ms Lacey, Miss Watts and Mrs Smith

RE learning 

In Religious Education, we will be learning about different celebrations and festivals which link to the heritage of some of the children. 

What the children say...

In our EYFS unit we plan according to the children's interests. We spend time talking to the children, asking them what they already know and what they would like to find out.

Our weekly themes are led by the children. Each week we share ideas and then pick a theme for the coming week
