Our First Week!
A huge thank you for all your engagement and support as your child/children have started school with us this week. It has been extremely helpful to meet with you all, learn more about your child and begin welcoming them into their first school environment. Your support and the information you have shared will help us to make sure your child feels happy, safe and secure as they begin their school journey.
The children had a fantastic first session on Friday and we were so proud of how well they settled into Red Class! It was lovely to see them beginning to explore their new classroom, meet their teachers and friends, and enjoy their first experiences of learning and playing together.
We cannot wait to welcome the children back on Monday, where we will continue getting to know one another and becoming familiar with our classroom. On Tuesday, the children will have the exciting opportunity to try their first school lunch, before taking the next big step and beginning school full time from Wednesday!
Starting school is a very big milestone, and we know that every child will settle in at their own pace. Please be assured that we will continue to provide lots of reassurance, encouragement and support as the children become confident and comfortable in their new surroundings.
What Are We Doing Next Week?
Next week, the children will begin school full time, so our main focus will be on building relationships, settling into school life, learning our school rules and practising our daily routines.
We will spend lots of time getting to know one another and helping the children to feel that Red Class is a happy, safe and welcoming place to learn. We will be practising important routines such as hanging up our coats and bags, tidying up, listening to instructions, sitting together for carpet time, using the toilets and getting ready for lunch and home time.
Our Discovery topic this term is ‘What’s Special About Me?’. Through our daily circle times, stories, conversations and activities, we will begin to explore this question and encourage the children to think about themselves, their families, their interests, their feelings and what makes them unique.
We will also begin learning about our classmates and celebrating the things that make each of us special. This will provide lots of opportunities for the children to talk, listen, share ideas and develop those important friendships.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are always happy to help and work together to ensure your child has the very best start to school.
Have a lovely weekend, and we look forward to seeing you all on Monday! The Red Class Team

Good morning,
We have had such a fantastic first week! The children have been amazing, and we are so proud of how well they have settled into school. We have been busy getting to know each other, learning our school routines and, of course, having lots of fun! We have enjoyed taking part in rhyme time, maths, Dough Disco and lots of other activities together.
Thank you all for your continued support over these last two weeks. You have really helped to make the children’s transition into school as smooth and positive as possible.
