Class Seren

Teacher Miss Emma Smith

Welcome:

We’re so happy to welcome your children into Dosbarth Seren (Nursery and Reception) this year. My name is Mrs Smith, and I’ll be working alongside our wonderful classroom assistant/Family Liaison Officer Mrs Roberts.

Key Info:

Please ensure all medical and dietary information is up to date with the office. Pupils will be given log ins to access online interventions using iPads/ laptops/ mobiles/ computers at home should they wish to continue their learning. Please also ensure you are reading with your children on a regular basis.

Please can we remind you to put your child’s name in all items of their uniform, including shoes and coats. It is inevitable that the children will take items of their uniform off for dressing up, painting or when they’re hot. Names will help to avoid items of clothing from getting lost. Although we monitor clothing and do our best to keep track, it is the children’s responsibility to look after their clothing and ensure jumpers/ coats are kept on pegs when taken off.

Forest School/PE:

Your child will be immersed in a range of exciting and interesting activities both in class and through learning outside the classroom, for this reason, we ask that children come into school prepared for outdoor learning activities by wearing their active uniform and a warm, waterproof coat. The active uniform is also essential for P.E. which is on a Friday. Please ensure that clothing is appropriate for each season, as outdoor learning will be taking place throughout the year come rain, wind or shine (within reason).

Our forest school sessions will be held each Friday. Please ensure your child comes into school ready for this session in the correct clothing:

• School jumper or fleece.
• Outdoor shoes/ wellies available for the session (pupils will be given the opportunity to change shoes).
• A warm and waterproof coat.
• Warm hats and gloves (when the weather is cooler).

What we are learning:

This autumn term, our topic is Inside Out! We’ll be exploring feelings, emotions, and how we can understand and express them, linking to the world around us and our own experiences. The children will have opportunities to share their thoughts, stories, and ideas, while also learning how to recognise and talk about different emotions. Through creative activities, stories, role play, and art, we’ll discover what makes us feel happy, sad, excited, or worried, and how we can support ourselves and each other. This theme will also help the children build their confidence, develop empathy, and celebrate the uniqueness of everyone in our class.
