Welcome to Grasshoppers!

We are really excited to begin our learning journey together in Grasshoppers! Our first topic is 'All About Me' where we get to learn about each other. We will use lots of circle time and play to find out your child's interests, family and hobbies.

We will also be focusing on developing our self-regulation strategies by exploring our feelings using the text 'The Colour Monster'. This book will guide us in identifying different emotions and support us to create strategies to help each other when we are experience different feelings.

At every opportunity we seek to encourage the children to be creative, collaborative and curious about their learning. We are really keen for the children to develop a love of the outdoors and outdoor learning. With this in mind, we would be grateful if you could ensure that your child has a pair of wellies in school at all times. 

If you have any questions please contact us as we are happy to help. We can't wait to start your child's adventure at Oakmeadow and getting to know you all!
