Before your child starts school please take a look at https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/collections/starting-primary-school/1 and share some of the activities together.
The half termly newsletter will keep you informed about what the children have been learning.
At Woodnook Primary School, the Key Person has special responsibilities for a small number of children, giving them the reassurance to feel safe and cared for. This is important because when children feel happy and secure they are confident to explore and to try out new things.
Learning Outside
The children in Little Acorns love to learn outside. It can be lots of fun exploring the different kinds of weather. The children need to come to school dressed appropriately. Please send a pair of named wellies to keep in school for rainy days and water play.
Milk and Snacks
All children are entitled to free school milk until their fifth birthday. After this, if you would like your child to receive milk at snack time, you will need to either fill in a Free School Meals form or see Mrs. Jones in the office to pay for it.
We encourage our children to make healthy choices. The children will choose a variety of snacks e.g. tomatoes, apples, tangerines, bananas, carrots. The children can also access water throughout the day.
School starts at 8:55am and finishes at 3:30pm.
Your child will be greeted by a member of our Little Acorns Team at the start of the day and they will also ensure that your child does not leave until we see you. Please be patient with us as we try to match you up, especially at the beginning of term. Remember to let us know if anyone else is collecting your child and supply us with a password if necessary.
P.E.
PE will be taught on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. The children will need a labelled PE in school on these days. Earrings must not be worn.
Medicines
If your child needs prescribed medicine during the school day please go to the office.
Inhalers must be kept in school and labelled with your child's name. A form must be completed in order for staff to administer medicine or inhalers.
Book Bags
Book bags need to be in school every day. Please make sure your child’s home reader goes to and from school every day in the book bag.
Reading books will be changed every Monday and Friday.
Home-school links
We provide half termly newsletters, teacher 2 parent app and See Saw (only in RC) to communicate with parents/carers and support your child’s learning.
