Welcome to all our F2 children!
Miss Marsden has been looking forward to this week for ages! It’s been lovely getting to know you and your interests. You all looked super smart in your new uniforms and shiny shoes! I wonder how long they will stay shiny for?
F2 have had a great first week at school! We’ve been busy painting, drawing,
building train tracks, cooking in the role play area and making cakes at the playdough table.

Every morning, your child will come into school and be encouraged to do their daily jobs independently. They will hang up their coat, find their name, choose their lunch and vote for an end of day story. When you drop of your child, a member of staff will always be available for a quick chat.

This half-term is all about settling in. We will be getting to know each other and finding out about the children’s interests which will guide our learning this term. Our Parent Partners are key in this process, so we really encourage you to start sending photos of any ‘WOW’ moments or new interests your child has at home. Send them to stjameseyfs@speherefederation.org.
Things to remember…
- PE will be every Wednesday – your child should come to school in their PE kit. Our first PE session will be on Wednesday 30 September.
- A pair of school wellies is essential in Foundation! We go outside to play in all weather!
- Your child will need a labelled water bottle each day. Please ensure the bottle only contains water – no juice please!
- At the end of the day (3.00pm), please remember to stand opposite the foundation classroom.
- Don’t forget to encourage independence when your child is getting ready for school!
Have a lovely weekend!
