Welcome back to Autumn term 2! We hope you all had a lovely half-term break and enjoyed some special time together.
During our first week back, we will be using our senses to explore the beautiful season of autumn, noticing the changes in our surrounding environment and discovering the signs of the season. We will then begin our exciting new topic, Light and dark, investigating and enjoying lots of wonderful new experiences together! With Christmas not too far away, there will be plenty of excitement and magical moments to look forward to as we enjoy this special time of year!
Below you will find useful information for both Seedlings and Saplings. If you need help with anything further please do not hesitate to ask a member of our EYFS team.
Mrs Nicholson, Mrs MacKay and Mrs Severs.
Just a reminder we are a NUT FREE school. Please ensure your child isn't bringing anything containing nuts in their lunchboxes!
