EXCITING NEWS
Forest school will be starting up next week!! Our Reception children will have the opportunity to go over to Wendell Park and take part in some wonderful nature themed activities.
These sessions will be on Wednesdays. Your child will be given a time slot during the day to take part in the activities with some of their peers and 2 adults. Please send your child in with some waterproof clothing and welly boots as we will be enjoying this experience come rain or shine!
A consent form has been emailed to you from the school. This MUST be signed and returned if you wish for you child to take part. As this will be happening out of school grounds if a return form has not been received, your child will not be able to participate. So to get involved please return your forms ASAP :)
Thank you,
Miss Snipp
A few of you have asked us for some guidance re developing your child's tripod pencil grip. We have included some info and websites below which we hope you will find useful. Please don't worry if your child takes a little time to get used to a new grip; as you will know, we all progress at different rates and we will be doing lots of fun fine motor activities at school (dough disco is a current favourite!) to build up your child's finger and hand muscles ready for writing.

Week of
Homework has now been sent out (Friday 16th November) Please check in your child's bookbag for their red books and complete the tasks we have set you. Please ensure that homework books are returned every MONDAY, along with your child's reading book so that we have enough time to quarantine them. Thank you.
READING BOOKS
Please can you ensure that your child brings back their reading book every MONDAY. We have been advised by government guidelines to leave all paper items returning from households to be left to 'quarantine' for at least 2 days before they are handled - this is to ensure the safety of the staff and the children in school. Therefore, if your child's book is not returned on the Monday we cannot guarantee that your child will be given a replacement book for the following week.
We apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused, but at Wendell Park the safety of the children and staff is our top priority during this challenging time.
Many thanks,
Mrs T and Miss Snipp
Keep an eye out for information booklets about online learning in your child's bookbags! Please let us know asap if you do not have access to the internet at home or a device (other than a phone). Thank you.
Thank you to everybody who attended the maths workshop - we hope you found it helpful. Please find below a pdf copy of the workshop and also of the non-statutory guidance for early years practitioners, 'Development Matters', which is used in many early years settings to support and extend your child's learning.
Reminders:
A few reminders:
Water bottles:
Please can your child bring in a named water bottle to school each day.
Fruit/snack time:
Please can your child bring in a piece of fruit (in their book-bag/backpack) to have at their afternoon snack time.
PE:
PE sessions will start after half term, once the children have settled in. PE will be on Thursdays and the children should arrive at school in their PE kit that day, not school uniform.
Please don't hesitate to contact us via email if you have any concerns or queries.
In Nursery & Reception at Wendell Park School we use Tapestry, an online learning journal, to keep track of of your child's progress, achievements and learning; we actively encourage you to be part of this process too by sharing snapshots of your child's experiences and activities at home. Please keep an eye out for a letter coming to you soon via email with more information about Tapestry and asking you to sign a consent form (please send back in your child's book-bag/back pack).
Thank you to everybody who attended the workshop. Please find the user guides for android and iOS below.
