4 Year Old Programme
Our 2012 programme for 4 year olds will begin on Monday 20th February. The aims of the programme are for the children to:
- become
familiar with the school surroundings
- get to
know the teachers, other staff and students
- learn
a little about the school routines
- Meet each other before school visits and school entry
The children are welcome to arrive from 1.30pm
onwards and join the
school students to eat a snack and have play time.
At 2.00 the children will join the Room Two students (junior room) for a story. After this they will spend time with either Mrs Clement or Mrs Protheroe (the class teachers) in the library and be given a Preschool Pack. This pack has activities the children can do at home before the next visit. The teacher will show you what you will need to do and what you will need to have at home to help eg scissors and glue.
Amongst other things, the packs include activities
which:
- Give
them practice at cutting and gluing
- Help
them learn shapes, letters, colours etc
- Give them practice at writing letters
The children will then be able to issue a book that they can take home with them. After this you are welcome to use the playground again, wait for your older children to finish at 3pm or head home.
Parents are required to stay with your child at school during the programme. You are welcome to bring any younger children you
have with you.
