Hello everyone,
It has been lovely to be back with Pearl Class and hear how super they have been whilst I was unwell. I have seen the super photos of them on World Book Day, they looked fabulous and Mrs Fincham said that it was lots of fun.
There are some important messages this week.
Red Nose Day
Next week we will have Red Noses on sale for the children to wear on Friday. These are £1.50 each. The PTA are also running a tuck shop sale after school on Friday with lovely cakes and sweets on sale. All monies raised are going to Comic Relief. Information regarding all of this can be found in this week's newsletter, which can be found here.
Fundraising for Ukraine
As a staff we are very aware of the continuing terrible situation and humanitarian crisis that is unfolding in Ukraine. A link to last week's newsletter which contains information and helpful websites that support discussing this issue with your child should you wish to do so or if they are asking questions can be found here.
We will be meeting as a staff next week to plan for a fundraising event in support of the DEC campaign to help the people of Ukraine. We were mindful, however, that this event did not get muddled in with an already planned charity event in support of Red Nose Day. We will send details of this separate fundraising event in due course.
Now on to our learning for next week, we will be:
- Sharing the story "The Way Back Home", a fourth story about the Boy.
- Thinking about how this week's book links to the story from last week.
- Playing our new game "Countdown" in our Phonics sessions and learning another new tricky word.
- Using non-fiction books to learn more about penguins.
- Using our new found knowledge to help us write some of our own penguin facts.
- Sharing the book "How Long is a Whale?" and using it to help us compare different sea animals by their length in our Mathematics sessions. We will also compare penguins by their height to find out which penguin is the tallest and which is the shortest.
Have a lovely weekend, see you on Monday!
