Windy Arbor Early Years’ Unit Newsletter

1. Windy Arbor Early Years’ Unit Newsletter Spring Term 2013 – Another exciting year ahead ! Topics The books we are looking at this half term are ‘Owl Babies’ and ‘Peace at Last’. Lots of our maths, reading, writing, science, history, geography and creative work this term is going to be linked to these. Also please look on our website for ideas and topic related activities. Monday is P.E day. Please try to make sure that your child has socks and shoes on that are easy to take off e.g not tights if possible. We want your child’s time in Early Years to be educational but also a magical fun time that will be the foundation of all their future learning. We also want you to know what we are doing with your children and so planning folders are available and easily accessible. Please feel free to come and look, whether your child is in Nursery or Reception. If you have any concerns please come and chat to us – together we can ensure that your children have the best opportunities possible Can we ask that all parents wait until all children have been released before coming to the door to talk to a member of staff to ensure safety of the children at home time. Sorry you may have to wait a little while as we have a lot of children to release.
