18.07.22 - This coming week in Early Years

Hello everyone! 

Well, we have made it to the final week and the last few days of the year and the penultimate blog of this academic year!

Hot Weather 
The children can wear their PE kit every day next week, as we feel this might help them feel more comfortable during the day. We will also be making some capacity for children to spend some time inside at lunch times if they wish to avoid becoming too overheated. Please ensure that children come to school each day with a sun hat, a bottle of cool water and sun cream already applied.

To help us all cool down, the fabulous PTA will be selling ice creams after school on Wednesday!

Book Collection
All children have had their reading diaries and reading books collected in. These will be passed on to Mrs Yuille so that they are ready to be re-issued in September. I will be updating the children's Big Cat e-Book Libraries should they wish to use this over the summer break. 

UNICEF Shoeshare Appeal
Just a reminder that on the last day of term we are collecting shoes in partnership with UNICEF and Clarks, who will cleverly turn our old shoes into money that will help fulfil the rights of children around the world. You can send your child with a spare pair of shoes on the final day of this term so they can place their unwanted school shoes into our collection box. If you have any other unwanted pairs, you can send these in too. 

Our last collection total was 145 pairs of shoes - let's see if together we can smash this total!

Article 28 & 29: Every child has the right to an education.


On to our learning for this coming week, we will be:

  • Sharing the story "Milo's Monster" which the final book in the Tom Percival series we have been sharing. (Thankfully Tesco still had a copy as I promised the children I'd try to find the latest book!)
  • Thinking about our first year at Down Hall and looking through our Learning Journey books.
  • Taking some special photographs to round off our year in Pearl Class.
  • Playing some Phonics games as well as Phoneme Bingo.
  • Having fun with our friends!
I hope you have had a lovely weekend, see you in the morning!
