Parent's views
Thank you for your attendance at the
Parents Voice session and completing
the parent questionnaire. The report
is back and thank you for all your
positive comments. It is good to feel
appreciated.
Thank you also for your ideas on how
we can improve our practice.
I'll soon be sharing the responses with
you and answering some of your
questions.
Don't forget you can express your
views on the Ofsted website

Children’s Progress
Next half term you will be invited to
meet your child's key person to
discuss their end of nursery report and
progress.
Our Learning
This term we have focussed on our ECaT ( Every
Child a Talker) work. This work is about supporting
children's talk and vocabulary development. This is
especially important to ensure that children do well in
their future learning and achieve academic success.
Have you had the All about Me box yet?
Helping at Home: Get out and About
You can help at home by talking to your children.
The staff have been trying some great ideas to inspire
the children to talk.
Talk! Talk! Talk!
Give them something to talk about. Get them out and
about.
•
In the holidays be sure to visit some of the fantastic
places in our local environment : Stepney City Farm,
Mile End Park, The Idea Store, The Ragged School
Museum and if you are feeling a bit more adventurous
take the 339 bus or tube to the fantastic Queen
Elizabeth Olympic Park. It's my new favourite place.
Take your towels and run through the fountains. Go on
have fun!
Sing the rhymes the children have been learning in
school.
Make a story box or an All about Me Box at home.
Goldilocks Story box to encourage the children to role
play and tell the story.
Open Day
Thank you to those of you who attended
our open day. The children loved having
their parents in school.
