21.06.21 - This coming week in Early Years

 Hello everyone, 

This week has been a very busy week in Pearl Class, so much so that we didn't manage to fit in all of our planned activities - but more about that later. We were visited by Mr Law and Mrs Hurley on Wednesday, who spent time showing us an exciting way to learn our 2 times tables. We will be giving this a go next week, along with the rest of the school, as we trial this new method.

Classes for next year

You may have seen the letter that has been added to the website today regarding the class arrangements for September. It can also be found here. Both Miss Langley and Mrs O'Connor have already been spending time with the children and will continue to do so for the remainder of this term.


New School Website

Over the past few months we have been working on refreshing our school website. This started with the individual phase group pages and now includes the whole of the website. We have added lots more photographs of our wonderful children and premises and hope to add more in the future. We have also had a little rearrangement of the information available to hopefully make it easier to access the information you need. There is also a "Children's Hub" tab at the end of the taskbar which gives quick links to many of the common learning platforms that your child might find useful to support their learning. We hope you like the changes and a massive thank you to Mrs Balkwill for working so hard in driving this project through to completion! Visit our lovely new site here.

Now on to our learning for the coming week, we will be:

  • Writing about one of the characters from the film, including important information, for example discussing whether they used their powers for good or bad things. (This is what we didn't get done last week!)
  • Learning about odd and even numbers in our Mathematic sessions.
  • Using our "Super Senses" in another game, this time focussing on the sense of sight.
  • Sharing and discussing the story "Perfectly Norman" in our Circle Time session.
As always, please feel free to email me with any queries or any WOWs for the children using earlyyears@downhallprimary.com.

Have a lovely weekend
Miss Wakefield
