Welcome to Spring Term

Dear Parents/Carers, 

Happy New Year to you all! I hope you all had a very happy Christmas break and are ready for the new term ahead. 

Our topic this term will be 'Once Upon a Time'. We will be exploring a range of traditional fairy tales and well-known stories. To help us plan exciting and meaningful activities, we would love your support. Please talk to your child about their favourite fairy tale and record this on the attached sheet. We kindly ask that the completed sheet is returned by Wednesday 21st January so we can use your child's interests to help shape our learning. 

Through these stories, we will take part in lots of imaginative and creative activities, including storytelling, drama, role play and art. We will also be completing activities related to Chinese New Year, St. David's Day and Easter later in the term. It promises to be a very busy and exciting term full of magical stories and adventures! 

We will be holding a magical 'Once Upon a Time' Immersion Day on Thursday 22rd January. 

Children are invited to dress up as their favourite fairy-tale character and will take part in a range of fun, story-inspired activities throughout the morning. 

We will still have hall time every Monday and Friday. Please ensure your child comes suitably dressed in trousers or leggings for them to move freely during these sessions.  

Our Forest School sessions will continue to be on a Thursday Morning. Please ensure children come dressed in warm, waterproof clothing. Not forgetting hats and gloves during this cold weather!  

Book bags are still collected in on a Monday and will get returned on a Monday or Tuesday. 

Cooking sessions will take place when linked to our activities, we kindly ask for a £3 contribution towards the cost of ingredients for this term. This is greatly appreciated and helps ensure that we can provide a wider range of learning experiences for the children.   

If you would like to know more about the activities mentioned or have any queries or concerns. Please do not hesitate to come and speak to us at any time. We really appreciate all of your help and support.
