It has been a wonderful, busy full week and the children have really settled into the simple routines very well. We have been learning about some of the rules to follow in the classroom and the routines. We have been learning:
PSED (Personal, social and emotional development) – Learning about simple instructions, exploring the different areas
Oracy – Learned about how we should be sitting, listening and taking turns with our partners
Talk through stories – We enjoyed listening to the story ‘Elmer’, recognising the characters, what the problem was in the story and joined in with the story following phrases and showing expression.
We have also listened to stories about settling into school.
Science – We looked in mirrors and talked about facial features that looked the same and those that looked different.
PE – We have been learning about different ways to walk and different ways to jump, moving around in different directions and using the space.
The children have enjoyed exploring around the different areas and making new friends.

Reception doors open 8.40am for children to arrive and home time the doors open at 3pm. Please ensure your child has their school bag, water bottle and the correct uniform and everything is labelled.
Uniform
Your child needs to wear school uniform so they feel part of the Newham Bridge family. This includes:

A suitable coat (for all weathers)
Please can you label each clothing item with their full name.
PE Days
PE will take place every Thursday and Friday, learning about body movements. Your child will need to come in their PE kit these days.
Black joggers / leggings, white polo shirt and black trainers
Weather changes
As the weather changes and turns to Autumn, please ensure that the children bring a coat to school everyday. We spend time playing outside in most weathers and a sunny morning can turn into a chilly afternoon quickly! Please label their coat.
