Observations
As you are aware we make observations of your children in play to further inform our teaching. These are recorded on Seesaw and are shared with you. If you notice anything significant at home, for example your child makes something creative or comments on something that they see, these can be shared this with us via Seesaw. We love to share them with your child in school.
Children have a weekly ‘Show and Tell’ session which is a wonderful opportunity to talk about and share knowledge and experiences. You will receive further information about this once your child has settled in.
