21.03.22 - This coming week in Early Years

Hello everyone!
We had a lovely day on Friday wearing our noses in support of Red Nose Day. Pearl Class also took part in the "Make You Smile Dance Challenge" in the morning which was great fun. I hope you all enjoyed the tuck shop sale after school too. The total raised, through the sale of the noses and the tuck shop run by the PTA, will be in next week's newsletter. A big thank you to all of you for supporting this fundraising. 

Fundraising For Ukraine - Friday 1st April
On Friday 1st April, the children will be able to wear blue and yellow clothes (non-school uniform) to school to help raise money for the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine - suggested donation of £1.

We will be discussing the situation with the children in an age appropriate manner, very much focusing on the Rights of the Child and how the invasion has meant that children are not getting their right to be safe from harm, the right to a home and the right to go to school. The children are very much used to looking at events and situations by relating these to our rights but if you have any concerns please just let me know beforehand.

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

• Sharing the story "Stuck", this is a very silly story about a little boy called Floyd and how his kite got stuck in a tree.
• Continuing our writing of penguin facts which we started last week.
• Learning our last Phase 3 tricky word in Phonics.
• Learning about 3D shapes in our Mathematics sessions.
• Listening to and discussing the story "It Wasn't Me" in our Circle Time session and thinking about how we would behave in that situation.
• Creating some cards for special people in our families.

Don't forget next week there is the Mother's Day sale in school. Details about this sale are in this week's newsletter, which can be found here.

Have a lovely weekend

Miss Wakefield
