September 2026

Hello everyone,

Welcome to my September news letter.

So we are now in the "ber" months. We have had a hot summer and the big challenge has been keeping the little ones cool and sun safe in all the sizzling heat. But, we have had lots of fun playing with the sand and water under the shades and on cooler days, visiting the park.

Last month we continued to observe the mini beasts in the garden, there is a growing interest in the apples on the tree and we have picked blackberries.  

We also began  looking at the topic, "All about me." This will help the little ones to build self awareness, understand their emotions, and learn independence with skills like toileting, hand washing and dressing.

​As usual my planning can be found on our current topic page.

 

In between the much needed rain, hopefully, there will be more sunshine to enjoy, we need to be prepared for every eventuality, so please remember to bring your little one in a suitable coat for the season, we like to get out, even when it is raining.

And finally, a word about illness. I appreciate that nobody can take time off work every time their little one has a cold, so, if your little one has a mild cold -clear runny cold, a mild cough and can cope with the day without medication, then bring them in. However, if your child needs medication has thick green snot and a harsh cough, they need to be at home.

 

​Thankyou so much for your support.

Learning at home

 

  • Encourage independence: offer choices, "Do you want the blue cup or the red cup?" Encourage independent skill such as hand washing and tooth brushing, teach them to put on their coat by themselves, I recommend the Montessori flip.

  • Look constantly at what is higher, smaller, thinner, thicker when spending time with your little one. Things like, which is the tallest tree? can become a fun game on a trip to the park or the shops.

  • Please be mindful of the time your little one is spending on devices such at tablets. Current advice is that if children have access to screens, this should be limited to a maximum of one hour a day.

  • Sharing an actual book only takes ten minutes and are an excellent tool for building bonds with your child. It is free to use the library.
