Gwyn Jones Primary School

We are so pleased to meet you and the wonderful children in our care. We have seen the children settle very well over the past few weeks and really enjoy the learning environment both inside and out.

This half term we are learning all about ourselves and each other. We will be reading some books as a class which link to starting school; learning colours and animal sounds. There will also be lots of singing of the children’s favourite songs. You will find a brief overview of the topic and some ways to help you extend your child’s learning over the page.

Please remember that the nursery curriculum requires free access to the outside area in all weathers. Literacy, maths and science activities are planned for the outside environment and all children are expected to participate. To ensure they are comfortable at nursery please remember to dress them in clothes they can move freely in and are able to manage when going to the toilet. For safety reasons shoes should not have high heels and should support the child’s foot securely. In wet or muddy weather a pair of wellington boots is sensible.

Please ensure coats are clearly labelled with your child’s name. A bag with spare clothes (including socks) is also very useful. Again please clearly label your child’s bag.

The snack table is available throughout the session providing fresh fruit or vegetables. Water is available every session.

The morning session starts at 08:45am and finishes at 11:45pm. The afternoon sessions begins at 12:15pm and finishes at 3:15pm. Please be prompt. The gate is secured 10 minutes after the start of the session to ensure the safety of all children. Please use this 10 minutes to look at your child’s special book, to change their reading book (book bags will be handed out soon) and pass on any information you wish to share.

It’s a privilege to work with your children. We are really looking forward to the term ahead.

Yours sincerely,

Miss Rorke, Miss Hart and Miss Jolly
