Hello Reception parents and children,
I hope you are all well and looking forward to your child’s first day at school.
I have posted two new videos on the Memo section of Tapestry. A hello from Mrs O’Connor and Mrs Reid and also a video tour of the classroom and outside area. I hope both these videos will help your child prepare for their first day.
You may also wish to watch this hand washing video with your child. We will be learning the song at school.
Rub the palms, one two
Rub the knuckles, one, two
Rub the insides of the fingers
And the back of them too
Rub the thumbs one, two
And the nails one, two
Now it’s time to rinse them
Happy clean hands for you
I am conscious that some children may find separating from their parents a little challenging. If your child is at all anxious, please prepare your child as much as possible with lots of positive encouragement. Reassure your child that we will have fun playing together and making friends. When you say good bye to your child, a little tip would be to wave briefly and say “See you soon”.
Best wishes
Mrs Palmer
