It has been a wonderful first week of Term 3! The children have come back refreshed and full of chatter about their holidays!
As you know, Term 3 is an important term in which we prepare the children for the next academic year. We aim to support our children so they feel as secure and happy as possible as they transition into F3. Our focus this term is to prepare the children for the use of the big pool, lunch in the canteen and phonics sessions. In the coming weeks, more detailed information will be given to you through a letter about Transition to F3.
Physical Development
This week, every child had the opportunity to use a bike or trike, the Supernova or the climbing frame in the big playground. In the splash pool, the children are becoming more and more confident in the water. They enjoy doing races and finding toys underwater.
Afternoon focus groups
This term, we kick started with our letters and sounds sessions. For this week, we focused on Phase 1- Aspect 1 of letters and sounds which aims to raise children's awareness of the sounds around them and develop their listening skills. Some of the activities we did this week include a listening walk and comparing sounds. The children were brilliant at using their listening ears.
Other actvities
We have been doing 15-minute yoga sessions in the soft play room. The aim of our yoga sessions is provide the children with a calm atmosphere where they can relax, enhance their coordination and be more aware of their body movements. We are very pleased with our F2s as they have been so good at following instructions and copying the different poses. Please see below the attached poster of Yoga poses 'ABC's of Yoga'. Here is also the link to the music we have been playing for our yoga sessions.

How you can help at home
We have been practising to hold a pencil properly and use it with good control.Tracing simple patterns would be a good activity at home.
Please see the samples below:
Hats
-As you will have noticed, it is very hot and sunny. All children must wear a hat in order to play outside. Please check with your nannies/relatives that one is placed in your child's bag everyday.
Swimming
-Mondays and Thursdays are swimming days. Please bring in your child's swimming kit.
Library books
Please bring your child's Library book every Wednesday. Children get very sad when they don't get to choose a book to bring home.
Funky Fingers Coffee Morning, please see the poster below.
Please do not hesitate to email any of us if you have questions.
