Welcome to Pre-School!

We are so excited to begin a fun-filled term of exploration and learning in Pre-School.

Establishing strong relationships with our children and families is our priority at the beginning of the school year. During the year we will support your child to ensure their emotional and academic needs are met daily.

We will strive to ensure their first experience in education is both special and exciting, underpinned by memorable activities.

Our aim is for your children to become confident learners and to carry their love of learning throughout their life.

Autumn Term in Pre-School

Our curriculum will be inspired by our Autumn bookshelf, filled with high quality, engaging texts.

During the Autumn term we will be sharing a variety of texts, exploring our own sense of self, our likes and dislikes and our families as well as those of people who may be different to us. The first book we will be exploring is: Lulu’s First Day

We also have a Supporting Bookshelf which recommends high-quality texts to parents that support your child’s learning, if you wish to borrow any from the library or buy for a gift, here are some fantastic recommendations:

Meet the team:

Mrs Stevenson – Class Teacher

Important information:

• Mrs Stevenson and the Pre-School Team will be available every day before and after school to answer any questions, receive messages and celebrate successes.
• Pre-School use Tapestry, an online journal, to share your child’s learning and Pre-School specific information. We also love to see photographs and videos from home to talk about and celebrate in Pre-School.
• Please ensure your child wears footwear suitable for outdoor play and sports.
• Wellington boots and waterproof coats will be required for outdoor learning in case of rainy weather.
• Important information will be shared through MCAS and our weekly school newsletter.
• We would encourage you to read to your child every day to develop their love for reading.
• Pre-School children will enter school through their classroom door. Please support a successful start to their day by being on time.
• The children will be dismissed from their classroom door, directly to their parent/carer. If the person collecting at the end of the day is different to usual, please inform the school’s admin team before pick-up so that Class Teachers are aware and know who to look out for.

As always, there will be lots of learning and exciting activities going on in Pre-School this term. Please speak to our admin team for access to the Pre-School Instagram feed @wps_preschool

You will receive personalised activation information from Tapestry to your registered email.
