This week at Gray's Farm
Week Beginning 10th September 2018
NURSERY
We would like to wish a warm welcome to all our new Reception children and parents to Grays Farm. We are very excited to be working with you all this year!
Our topic for this term is People who help us and we will be learning about different people in our community. This week we will be focusing on the children settling in to school, becoming familiar with our school rules and routines as well as important faces in and around their new school.
We would also like to remind you that your child will be receiving a tapestry profile by the end of the week so please make sure you have provided us with an email address so we can share their learning with you.
We look forward to teaching your children!
RECEPTION
After a very successful week of settling in, the Reception team are very much looking forward to beginning full days with the bright and confident children in Reception!
We wanted to send a polite reminder to our parents are to please put names on water bottles and uniform to prevent any lost items.
Also, could you please ask your children choosing a dinner option what they would like before they come in.
Thank you,
Reception Team

Continuing with our Topic of Toys-Bears, we will be working up towards re-writing the story of This is the Bear. In phonics we are recapping all sounds taught in Reception. Our maths focus this week is on using the correct vocabulary such as more than, less than to compare values. Our PE days are Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Your child can continue to read the traditional book which they choose daily, at home, or the online copy in the Bug Club. They could even do both! Every Thursday our assembly is a celebration of home reading, with stickers awarded to those who read regularly.
