November 2026
Hello everyone,
Welcome to my November news letter.
Autumn is truly upon us now, the conkers seem to get earlier and earlier, but we were in time to collect a few and had lots of fun using our finger muscles to open the shells and we used them to practice counting and ordering by size. We have collected lots of leaves and talked about the colours, and we used lots of yellow, red and orange paint to make autumn pictures and leaf prints.
November is going to be a very busy month- We are going to look at bonfire night, then remembrance day, then begin to look at Christmas!
As usual, my planning can be found on our current topic page.
We need to be prepared for every eventuality, so please remember to bring your little one in a suitable coat for the season and wellies, 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 independence skills such as hand washing and tooth brushing, teach them to put on their coat by themselves, I recommend the Montessori flip.
-
Go on a back yard or park scavenger hunt, collect leaves and twigs, these can be used in all sorts of ways.
-
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.
Thank you for your continued support
