Welcome back and welcome to Starfish.

September 13, 2025

Hi everyone,
Welcome back and welcome to starfish for all the new parents and children. Each week I will upload some information and usually some photos of what we have been learning during the week.
This week we have focused on learning how to find our way around the classroom and learning about each other. We have been enjoying talking about how we feel and what makes us happy. There were lots of lovely comments such as ‘my mummy makes me happy’, ‘I’m happy when daddy gives me a kiss before he goes to work’. It really is a joy to hear how loved they all feel.
During the week we created self-portraits using loose parts, drawing our face and painting our face. We also created a puzzle of our faces which are displayed in the classroom.
As the weeks go on, we will continue to learn new silly songs such as Funky children, wiggle wiggle freeze, dough disco and lots more. Singing songs is a wonderful way for children to learn new vocabulary.
Next week I will be sending home a milk letter and wow moments. If you would like your child to have milk at school, then there is a link on the letter to sign up to.
Wow moments are a way of sharing significant moments at home with us at school. We will read these during register and sharing the excitement with your child. These can be any moment you would like to share, maybe they helped you cook dinner, bake cakes, set the table, had dry pants for the first time or moved up a swimming lesson. We want to share your child’s achievements not matter how big or small.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Mrs Newton
