Transition Information
In the following video, Miss Kurylo and Miss Dodds speak about the transition to Reception, outline key information about our school, invite you to the teddy bears’ picnic and explain a summer challenge they’ve set.
Teddy Bears’ Picnic
We are holding our Teddy Bears’ Picnic on Saturday 5th July and we do hope that you can attend.
There will be a presentation by Mrs Harkness (Vice Principal) and Miss Kurylo (Early Years Phase Manager) where key information will be shared regarding the transition period, and life at CMCS.
Then, we will have our Teddy Bears’ Picnic, in which your child will be able to meet our teachers and make some new friends.
Stay and Play Sessions
You and your child are invited to our Stay and Play sessions on Wednesday 23rd July and Wednesday 27th August, where you can spend time in our school environment, see your child’s coach and meet other children in the same House.
Self-portrait Challenge
We are asking you to take part in our self-portrait challenge!
When creating your portrait, we want you to be as creative as you can. You may want to use feathers, pens or pencils for your drawing. Or, you may wish to use natural resources, such as sticks or leaves.
For an extra challenge, can you write your name too?
Please then bring your self-portraits into school on your first day in September.
