Water Bottles

All children must bring in a water bottle, clearly labelled with their name. These will be used by the children throughout the day, so please try and ensure that they are able to open these independently. These will be sent home each afternoon for cleaning and refilling for the following day. Please encourage your child to take responsibility for remembering their water bottle every day.

Clothing

Please send in your children with suitable clothing and footwear for learning and playing in all day.  During the summer months, please ensure your child wears items that cover their shoulders, as well as coming in with sun cream already applied.

PACT Bags/Show and Tell

Please make sure your child brings in their PACT bag every week.  We will provide bags for children new to the school.

Curriculum

We follow the Early Years Foundation Framework.

How you can help

If you  have any knowledge, skill, or artefacts related to what we are learning in school, then please do get in touch with your child’s teacher.  We lobe having our parents and carers come in and help us all to learn.

PPA cover

All teachers are required by law to have Planning, Preparation and Assessment (PPA) time during the week.  This is usually covered by the same person every week to ensure consistency for the Children.  The PPA cover for Nursery will be Andrea Littlewood.

Medicines

If your child requires an inhaler, EpiPen, or any other regular medication, please could you ensure the school has two of each medication from day one, as we will require on for the classroom and one for the school medical room.

Weekly Update

At the end of every week, Yerbury sends a Weekly Update to all parents who have signed up for it (see the bottom of the website home page to sign up). This includes a lot of information both on a school level and for individual class information.  We strongly encourage all parents to sign up to it so you are kept up-to-date.
