Welcome to Elf Class

Welcome to the first half term of this new school year. It’s lovely to see our ‘old’ elves back with us again and we are delighted to also be welcoming many new families. We know that it’s going to be another fantastic year in Elf Class!

Our topic for this half term, will be ‘Beside The Sea’. We have lots of fun activities planned. Look at the overview for this half term (click below) to get an idea of some of the things we will be learning about.

We are excited to announce that we will be introducing ‘ClassDojo’ to share fun moments from the classroom and keep you up to date with information and events. This will replace ‘EvidenceMe’ and will bring us in line with the rest of school, who all use ClassDojo. 

We go outside in all weathers! Please make sure your child has an appropriate coat and a pair of wellies on their peg so that we can enjoy playing outside in rain, snow and hail! We have waterproof suits in school for extremely wet days.

Reminders:

• Please apply suncream before your child arrives at nursery and send a sunhat in hot weather.
• Please name (with permanent marker or name stickers) EVERYTHING, including both shoes, both wellies, jumpers, coats, lunch boxes, hats etc. 
• Lunch club/ wraparound care money needs to be paid directly to Mrs Lester. We can pass money on, if it is in a clearly named envelope, labelled 'lunch club'. 
• If your child is going to be having a school dinner, please let one of us (or a member of staff in Breakfast Club) know, when you arrive in the morning. A copy of the menu can be found on the school website /from the office. School dinners are paid for via your child’s squid account (the £2.10 per day for lunch cover DOES NOT include any food)
• All children need a pair of named wellies, to be left in school.
• Snack money is £5 for the half term / £10 for the full term (part time children) or £10 for the half term/ £20 for the full term (children doing more than 15 hours). Please bring this as cash, in a named envelope, labelled 'snack money'.
• Children do not need to bring any drink with them, even if they are packed lunches (the lunch staff give ALL children a drink and we have water in class which is available in cups at all times)
• Our session times are 8.40-11.40 or 8.40-3.20, for full day.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to come and see us, call or email.
