Welcome to Little Stars!

Hello everyone! What a fantastic start to the year we have had! The children are all settling in; beginning to find their own coat pegs and putting their water bottles in the tray. We are washing hands regularly and encouraging children to develop their independence in this area.

Topics

Our topics this half term are All about me! and Autumn. We will be starting by looking at who we are, who is part of our family and what pets we have. The activities that we plan will aim to encourage the children to think about these, stimulate play and develop their language. Continuing these discussions at home will also support this learning.

As the seasons begin to change throughout September and October, we will be looking at the natural changes that occur. We are fortunate enough to have a wonderful forest area attached to our setting and we look forward to using this when learning about Autumn.

Toileting

We understand that some children still need support with their toileting needs and we will be working with individual children and their parents to support them with this. We would encourage parents to continue working on this at home.

We look forward to working with you this year!

Mrs Williams and Mrs Allen
