Making Friends and Sharing!
Friday 9th September 2016
Wow! What a week and well done, children, mums, dads and carers!
We completly understand that starting ‘big school’ can be one of the most worrying and daunting experiences for children, parents and their families! Therfore, we strive to make the transition from Nursery to School an exciting and enjoyable memory, with as little anxiety and stress. You have all done fantastically well. Thank you for your support.
With your support, time and care the children have begun to settle into their classes beautifully, are developing impressive learning behaviours and have enjoyed getting to know each other, their teachers and their learning environment—inside and out!
We are all thoroughly impressed and look forward to the year ahead.
Well done, everyone!
Someone Special
The theme for our learning this term will be Someone Special. We will be sharing what makes each of us special, marvellous and unique.
Over the next few week, we will be having oodles of fun whilst getting to know each other, talking about ourselves, our families and our interests.
We will begin to make new friends and together, we will all explore and get to know all three of our Reception Class Rooms, the other children and the adults who work in them. We’ll have plenty of fun learning opportunities in our outdoor learning space too.
In maths, we will be singing counting rhymes and songs. In English, we will begin playing Phase 1 Letters and Sounds’ games and we will also start to learn the first set of Phase 2 sounds. How exciting!
We will also use the following books to help us with our learning:
We will begin to learn how to choose our own learning during our Child Initiated Learning time.
We look forward to sharing more news with you very soon.
Meantime, here's a link to a very special tune, sung by Will.iam and his friends from Sesame Street https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyVzjoj96vs
Here are the lyrics, just to remind you how special you and your children are... enjoy!
If what I am is what's in me
then I'll stay strong - that's who I'll be
and I will always be the best
"me" that I can be
There's only one me, I am it
have a dream I'll follow it
It's up to me to try
Oh! I'mma keep my head up high (high)
Keep on reaching high (high)
Never gonna quit
I'll keep getting stronger
And nothing's gonna bring me down (no!)
Never gonna stop, gotta go
because I know
I'll keep getting stronger
And what I am is (thoughtful)
and what I am is (musical)
and what I am is (smart)
and what I am is (brave)
and what I am is (helpful)
and what I am is (special)
and what i am is (happy)
There's nothing I can't achieve
because in myself I believe and...
Oh! Gonna keep our heads up high (high)
Keep on reaching high
Never gonna quit
just keep getting stronger
And nothing's gonna bring us down (no!)
Never giving up, gotta go
Because I know
I'll keep getting stronger
What I am is (super)
What I am is (proud)
What I am is (friendly)
What I am is (grouchy)
What you are is (magical)
and what you are is (special)
There's nothing I can't achieve
because in myself I believe and...
Oh! Gonna hold my head up high (high)
Keep on reaching high (high)
I'm never gonna stop
I'll keep getting stronger
Nothing's gonna bring me down
Never give it up gotta go, oh... yeah...
I'll keep getting strong-er
