Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Every Friday on the Early Years Facebook Page they focus on one of the activities featured in the ‘50 Things to do before you’re 5’ app. This week it’s time to discover ‘Little People park Keeper!’ - Activity #27
Adventures in the park. Happy hearts and happy faces. Happy play in grassy places. Time to get the children out for some real life fun and enjoy the open spaces of your local park.
Changes in how we live are affecting childhood experiences. Time for outdoor play is decreasing, contributing to less active lifestyles which are often disconnected from the natural world. The benefits of outdoor play for young children’s healthy growth is widely recognised.
A visit to the park provides an inexpensive stimulus that captures children’s attention and interest and offers countless opportunities to learn through play. Research shows that outdoor free play gives children many valuable benefits, including the development of physical, emotional and cognitive skills.

Thanks you to those Year 1 & 2 parents who attended the virtual meetings on Tuesday and Thursday this week. We hope you found them useful along with the Curriculum Information Videos which were uploaded to Teams last week.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to chat with the teacher at the end of the day, speak with Mrs Mathieson or Mrs Green on the playground or send a message via admin2123@welearn365.com
Good Afternoon Year One,
Just a little reminder that the Year One Team are hosting a Q & A session at 5pm today to answer any questions that you may have about year 1. Even if you don't feel like you don't have any questions it's always good to come along because it may give you more information about year 1 through listening to the answers of other parent's questions.
This will take place in this "General" channel of the "Year One WIS 2021-22" Team. To join the session, you need to wait for the blue join button that will appear in this channel at 5pm.
See you soon,
The Year One Team
The Year 1 Curriculum Information Video has been posted on the Year 1 TEAMS channel. Please sit down and relax with a cup of tea/coffee while you listen to Mrs Kilburn, Mrs Mistry & Mrs St. Denis. The video lasts for 50 minutes. There will be a chance to ask the teachers direct questions via a virtual Teams meeting which will take place on Tuesday 14th September at 5pm.
Whilst we still can't invite parents into school at this stage, we hope the video and Q&A session will be highly informative.
We hope you have enjoyed a lovely, safe & healthy summer break.
The school is looking fantastic and we are ready to welcome our families back to school. Year 1 & 2 children return on Monday 6th September. Tomorrow all staff are taking part in Attachment training, followed by COVID protocols, Safeguarding & Expectations briefings.
Please contact Lynn or Sarah in the office if you have any queries.
