PRE-SCHOOL+VISITS

=Sheffield Primary School= PRE-SCHOOL VISITS There will be a 'Welcome to New Children and their families' class Picnic in Room 2 towards the end of term 4, 2010.  The New Entrant Teacher, Mrs Clubb (Marguerite) will present practical information to parents in an informal afternoon session. All pre-schoolers enrolled at Sheffield school and any other families in the area who are interested in considering our school are invited.

Dear Parents/Caregivers,

Staff welcome your new entrant to Sheffield Primary School. As part of the transition to school your child is expected to attend the following sessions as a build up to being part of our school. The following visit dates will be arranged with you prior to your childs 5th birthday.

Session 1: Tuesday Afternoon 1.30pm through to 3pm (social maths games and a library visit). Session 2: Friday Morning from 9.30am – 11am (developmental activities in a social setting and a playtime/morning tea session) Session 3: Friday Morning from 11am through to 1pm ( Poetry session and developmental social activities - including lunch and play) Session 4: Tuesday Morning 9am through to 1.30pm ( including a normal classroom day with structured activities, social activities and lunch)

These sessions are recommended for your child to have coverage of a whole day in a build up to school. Every child is unique and needs your support in the classroom while making the transition to school. Days can be flexible if work commitments are in the way though I try to children starting at similar dates together. They really do become lifelong buddies in learning!

Please phone the school office, leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible to arrange dates. Looking forward to meeting your pre-schooler and helping them reach their P.E.A.K. at Sheffield Primary School.

Marguerite Clubb (New Entrant/Year 1 Teacher)
