Next week, we will be looking at families and pets. Please could you email us or pop onto Tapestry a photo of you family, extended family and pets as these are great for the children to use when talking about their family.

Our key stories will be: 'Love Makes a Family', 'I Love Dogs' and 'Dear Zoo'. We will be exploring the story 'Dear Zoo' through our provision and tying it into our maths focus of shape and size. The children will be predicting and experimenting with different crates to transport our animals.

Next week, our rhyme time song is 'The Grand Old Duke of York' and we will be exploring lots of listening games alongside the song.

During Forest School, we will be talking about what we can do to look after animals in nature and the children will be making bird feeders.

• We would love it if you could email us a photo of you family, extended family and pets.
• Please ensure all items are clearly named and that your child has a coat in school.
• If any of your contact details have changed please let us know via the nursery email as soon as possible. Many thanks.

Weeks beginning:

28th Sept, 19th Oct

As a school, we want to encourage high attendance as we know the positive impact this has on children not just academically but socially too. Many schools give out rewards for 100% attendance but this is not something we do. We appreciate that children can be ill and do not want to discourage those who always attend when they can. We are parents ourselves and can appreciate the battles that sometimes occur in a morning trying to get your child to school when they are not feeling it that day so do want to try to help with this.

We do not want to penalise children for being off but want something that we can all aim for to encourage high attendance. As a team, we have decided that we will trial a new approach this summer term. For every 50 sessions that your child attends they will earn some form of reward. The first one will be non-uniform for the day, which is always popular. This means if your child is ill they do not miss out, all children will achieve this when they have earnt 50 sessions. We hope that if for example your child is on 45 sessions it might encourage them to attend to reach their 50.

This week's attendance 21st - 25th September:

Pearls - 100% Excellent

Rubies - 96% Below expected standard

Diamonds -97% Expected Standard

Sapphires - 99% Good

The below workshops are being put on by the MHST who work with our school and in the authority. A number of parents have accessed other workshops before and found them really useful. The up and coming workshops are listed below:

Behaviour as a Form of Communication: A Parent/Carer Workshop

• 30 September 2026, 4:30pm (Online)

Understanding Anxiety: A Parent/Carer Workshop

• 4 February 2027, 4:30pm (Online)

The workshops are free to attend and offer parents and carers the opportunity to learn evidence-based approaches to supporting their child's emotional wellbeing and behaviour.

Parents and carers can book a place via the Eventbrite page (East Riding Mental Health Support Team) or the direct links next to each workshop.

We will share resources each week but also see our monthly newsletter for a collection of these resources that have been sent previously.
