Head Lice Anyone can get head lice no matter how clean and careful they are and we ask that you check your child’s hair regularly. If you find head lice you must treat them promptly and inform us in order for us to alert other parents, as once lice infestation starts, it can spread rapidly. There is no need for your child to miss time at school; as soon as they have been treated they can return to their class. We are visited termly by a nurse who checks the children for head lice and nits.
Long hair must be securely tied back with blue hair accessories only.
Home School Links • Best Work Books
When your child joins the Infants’ School, a Best Work Book will be started for them. Each half term a piece of your child’s work is added and by the end of Year 2, your child has a unique collection of work
reflecting their journey through DUCKS. • Curriculum and Pastoral Information
You will receive an overview of Nursery and Reception learning and activities via DUCKSPost at the end of every week. All Infants’ School children will receive a copy of the class timetable and Golden Rules at the beginning of each academic year. • Home-Link Books Home-Link Books are used in EY and KS1 to record comments about your child’s reading and to exchange short messages regarding academic or pastoral queries. Please ensure that this book is in your child’s book bag every day. Home-Link Books are an excellent way to organise a meeting with a teacher. • Show and Tell Every child enjoys bringing in artefacts, photographs or other mementos of a special time or significant importance to them. Class teachers will find time in the school day or week to ensure all children have the opportunity to share their “Show and Tell” object with the class. • Special Books Special books are an opportunity for EYFS children to share important things together with their friends at DUCKS. They are for recording significant events in your child’s life and to help us to build a bigger picture of your child’s life outside of school. • WOW Boards, WOW Trees and DUCK of the Week At DUCKS we really value the important role you play in your child’s education and how much you know about them. This information is invaluable when assessing your child’s development. Throughout the EYFS we encourage you to help us celebrate your child’s WOW moments by recording significant achievements on our WOW boards or trees such as getting dressed by themselves or sharing toys with a sibling.
