Today some children tried a school dinner, they had to hold there tray and walk carefully back to their seat. After our dinner we went outside to play! 

The children have been fantastic on their visit to the dining room. They were all super excited to take their lunch bags and boxes over to the main school. They were really sensible and listened to all of the instructions from the grown ups.... next stop trying a school dinner! 

We hope that you have all had a lovely summer and we cannot wait to welcome our F2 children, Parents and Carers back to Athersley South Foundation Stage.  

Parent/Carer Reminder
During the first week back your child/ren will have a staggered transition which will include them having a visit on Monday,  exploring the dining hall - some children will bring a packed lunch on Tuesday and others on Wednesday - please refer back to your letter or contact the School Office. On Thursday, every child will arrive at 8:50am and will need to be collected at 1:00pm and then on Friday, every child will arrive at 8:50am and will be collected at 2:00pm. Please remember that from Thursday, your child/ren can order a school dinner or bring a packed lunch. 

From Monday 13th September onwards, your child will attend F2 full time - 8:50am - 3:00pm, unless alternative arrangements have been made. 

Can we also ask that you send a family photograph to school for our family display; this is a great talking point and it also really helps settle the children during the first few weeks. Please send to  [email protected] and we will happily print your photograph. 

Miss Pell and Miss Reynolds have been really busy during the holidays; setting up and creating a fantastic learning environment. They have done a brilliant job and we are sure our children will love exploring all the new resources and areas.  We have added some photos for you to have a sneaky peek before next week. 

We are looking forward to seeing you all soon!
