Hello Parents
We began a new week with new letters, numbers and theme.
We also have a new addition to our team in the Early Years Unit, Mrs. Lydia Freeman who has had extensive experience working in the Montessori
system. She will be our English class teacher in Foundation 2. Foundation 1 are
lucky to continue to have Mrs Tahani as team leader for the group.
We would also like to
inform you that the number of TA’s in each class is now 3 teachers. Each
supports the English class teacher while working on many hands- on activities.
Theme
Our theme this week was all about staying safe on the road.
It’s important to what know,
understand., say and do to stay safe on the road. As in all
areas of child development, in any group of children there will be a wide range
of understanding and capability about this issue. Early Years Foundation Stage
will understand the difference between the footpath and the road. They will
know to walk with a grown up and to hold hands when near a road. We will introduce
them to the “Stop, Look, Listen and Think” model of road safety and to the
traffic light and zebra crossing signs.
This week children were involved in real decisions to help
them keep safe on the road. The more children are involved in making decisions to help
them to stay safer, the more likely they are to act on those decisions.
Children designed a “Unity Road” inside the building, made 'Go' 'Slow' and 'Stop' signs, traffic lights and learnt the road safety rules: "Stop, look, listen and go".
