    Summer Term Topics: People Who Help Us and Under the Sea

    Dear Parents and Carers,

    As we look ahead to the start of the summer term, we’re excited to let you know about a very special day planned for the first day back, Monday 2nd June. 

    To start our new topic, ‘People Who Help Us’, we’re inviting all children to come to school dressed as someone who helps them. This could be a doctor, nurse, firefighter, police officer, pilot, postal worker, teacher, builder – anyone your child sees as a helper in their life!

    Outfits don’t need to be fancy or shop-bought, homemade touches are very welcome! 

    Children might want to:

          •     Wear a simple accessory, like a paper badge or homemade stethoscope

          •     Bring in a small prop, like a toy animal, medical kit, or notepad

          •     Dress in colours that match their chosen helper’s uniform

    We can’t wait to see the children’s creativity and hear all about who they’ve chosen and why. It’s a fantastic way to launch our learning and inspire curiosity about the world around us. There will be creative style activities on this day, so please bare this in mind. 

    Thank you for your continued support. If you have any questions, please speak to your child’s class teacher. 

    Mrs Pennell 

    EYFS Lead
