What can you do to help your child in FS2?

Please let us know of any changes of circumstances at home that might impact your child in school. We are always happy to talk with you about any worries or concerns you may have. Please do write us a note, give the school office a ring or an email. We will get back in touch with you.
Try and find the time to read with your child at home. Reading and retelling stories are important skills to develop as a child and the more often you can look at books together and share a story with them, the quicker they will develop their own independent reading skills. Please write in your child's reading diary when they have read with you. They will be rewarded with a raffle ticket for three or more reads at home and have the chance to win a book each week!
Please help your child pratise their phonics by looking at the sounds and key words we send home in their plastic packs each week. You could go on a hunt around the house and see how many sounds or key words you can find then remember or simply look at the shape of the letters and help your child to recognise the different sounds in the words.
Use the Oxford Owl website to help your child with their reading (please see the link below in the useful websites section). Please do access and enjoy this fabulous website - a free eBooks collection. Log in is at the top right of the webpage and our log in is: Username: dale tigers Password: tigers
Count together! Count the number of steps, stairs, claps or any other movements you might make. You could count the clouds you see out of the window or how many pennies you find. Be imaginative and have fun with creating different games.
Use Purple Mash. Purple Mash has lots of free learning resources for you and your child. Please use the link below in the useful websites section and then use your child's username and login which can be found in your child's school diary.
Volunteer to help us! We would love for you to help us in school and be a part of the children's learning journey!
Please ensure that your child's belonging are all named. This is a huge help to us in FS2!
Keep inhalers up to date if your child uses one.
Look out for head-lice and keep long hair tied back.
Please make sure your child is well rested and goes to bed routinely each night at a sensible time.
Check your child's book bag, class page and school website for letters and any other useful learning links we might send you.

Sports Day

Sports Week - we had such an amazing time!

National Day of Reflection 🎀

In March, we took part in the UK’s National Day of Reflection to think about the events of the past year and hope for a brighter future. We all tied a ribbon to the school fence to mark the day and joined the rest of school on the field for a minutes silence at 12pm. After the silence, we joined in with a whole school clap and listened to some uplifting music. It was lovely to see everyone come together to reflect and the children were all beautifully behaved 🎀

Book Week - Author Workshop 📚

We had a fab time during our author workshop and we loved seeing our friends who have been learning at home too. Steve Webb read us some of his stories - they were quite silly and made us laugh lots! Our favourite was his new book called 'Cows Go Boo!' - it's not even out in the shops yet so we were very lucky to hear this one :) He then read us one called 'Tanka Tanka Skunk' and we had a great time joining in with his clapping and stamping rhythm!!

What an exciting day we’ve had! We had a fab time coming to school in our Christmas jumpers and enjoying a yummy Christmas dinner too 🎅🎄 We then enjoyed watching the panto and eating our ice cream treats in the interval! Such a lot of fun had by everyone, all without needing to leave school 😂

We all had a brilliant time in the snow ❄️☃️ Some of us even enjoyed trying to catch the snowflakes on our tongue! We talked about snow being frozen water and watched as it either settled on a surface or disappeared into the wet playground once it landed. It was very chilly though 😂

Christmas fair 🎅☃️🎄

We all had a fabulous afternoon having lots of fun at our Christmas fair 🎅☃️🎄 We exchanged our money for tokens and got to choose what stall or game we would spend them on. There were lots of prizes to be won when we played spin the wheel, hook-a-duck, guessed where Santa's sleigh was in the night time sky and entered the Christmas colouring competition. We could also use our tokens to choose a lucky dip envelope with a prize inside each one and choose something yummy from the chocolate stall. Finally, we all took home one of our salt dough Christmas tree decorations and an iced Rudolph biscuit. Well done to our winners - Harrison was the closest to Santa's sleigh and Harper & Jax won the colouring competition
