Happy Half Term!

Happy half term everyone!

Today the children have brought home a letter about our next project "Lost and Found". We really enjoyed finding out the answers to the children's questions about dinosaurs, so it would be lovely to have their ideas once again. They have also brought home the next set of sounds that we have learnt in Phonics this week and their artwork from this half term.


This week we enjoyed creating our own volcano, just like the one Andy saw in his T-Rex adventure. I promised the children that I would put the link up for all of you, just in case you'd like to have a go at making your own volcanoes during the holiday! It can be found here. We have also made some salt dough fossils this week, again there was a clip to show us what to do, it can be found here

We have also enjoyed the coin run today, making hearts on the playground with all our coins.


Finally, your child has come home with their Mid-Year Report today. These are different from those we have sent out previously and give you and your child the targets that we will be working on from next half term. This report is one of the things that we can discuss during the parent/teacher consultations on Friday 25th February. Many thanks to those of you who have already made an appointment. It is assumed that you are happy for these meetings to take place via ZOOM, however if you would prefer to have a telephone call or a face-to-face meeting then please email me to let me know using earlyyears@downhallprimary.com. The information about the parent/teacher consultations can be found here. I will send out the links for the ZOOM meeting on Thursday 24th.

I hope you all have a lovely week, I will see you all on Monday 21st February!
Miss Wakefield
