We are coming to the end of our 'We are all Superheroes' topic, with just a couple of weeks left!
The children have really enjoyed it and it was lovely to hear what superpowers they would like to have  ... From invisibility and super strength to pink power! They really do have the best imaginations. 

This week we are sharing the 'Supertato' stories and exploring our big idea question:

• How do we stay healthy? 

As well as talking about this question in detail... We will be making our own Supertato characters, thinking of ways that we could trap the evil pea and making some delicious bread rolls... Just like the Little Red Hen in our talk for write story! 

Have a listen to one of the Supertato stories that we will be sharing: 

This week we will be continuing our 'We are all Superheroes' topic by finding out about real-life superheroes and the people that help us. Here are the 'big idea' questions that we will be sharing:

• Who helps us?
• What job would you like to do when you are older?

We will be sharing these stories (along with the Little Red Hen which is our talk for writing story in literacy this half-term). 

We are SO PROUD of how well the children have settled into school life, to say we haven't even had a full week in school yet, they have been incredible! 

This week, the big idea question's we will be talking about are: 

• Who is in my family? (If you could send a family photo on tapestry we can print them or bring in a physical photo - we will be creating a class display) 
• What do I enjoy doing with my family?
• How do I feel?

To help us explore these questions - we will be sharing these wonderful stories:

A new school year and a new class name... This year in EYFS the F1 and F2 children are 'Little Creators'. 
We will be using our imagination to create in lots of different ways... Building, making, drawing and most importantly playing!
Throughout the year we will be inspired by other wonderful creators such as artists, architects, story-tellers, musicians, inventors and many more exciting people!
We know that children hold the most incredible imaginations and know they are going to live up to their 'Little Creators' class name, blowing us away with their creations.

We are so excited to welcome you into school, we hope you have all had a wonderful summer, and we can't wait to hear all about it! If you get chance, remember to upload some photos on to tapestry, so the children can share these with their friends next week. Huge thank you if you have already done this. 

(F2 Parents) We've added the 'Welcome to Reception'  presentation as a PDF below, just incase you missed our meeting or want a reminder of the information shared. Hopefully everyone received their goody bags! 
If you have any burning questions, add these to tapestry, and we will try our best to get back to you before we are back. 

We look forward to seeing you next Tuesday 5th bright-eyed and bushy tailed at 8:55am 😊 (unless you have agreed a different start date/time with Mrs Boon/EYFS Staff). 

• Please label everything! (including water bottles please)
• If children are staying for lunch, remember to remind them on the way to school whether they are having school dinners or packed lunch (before we are familiar with everyone's new lunch boxes, it will really help us with the register!)
• Let us know if you can't log in to tapestry - we will be using this to share lots of first week photos with you. 
• Remember to register on school milk, if you haven't already done so.
• Keep your eyes peeled for our new topic blog post on here later today!
• (F2) Bring in your 'Super Me' sheets filled in on the first week back (don't worry if you've misplaced these over summer, but if you have them - we would love to see them). 
• Most importantly... Enjoy the rest of the weekend! We can't wait to see you all soon!
