17.07.23 - This week in Early Years

Hello everyone! 

We have had a fantastic week in school, with a very exciting visit yesterday (Thursday) afternoon! We had 3 Police Officers and their vehicle come and talk to us. They showed us some of their different uniform and we were all able to take a turn at making the sirens and lights work on their Police Carrier! (Photos will be in the children's learning journey books).

We also enjoyed today's non-uniform day, shame that the weather wasn't so summery! 


UNICEF Shoeshare Appeal
We are once again holding a collection for Shoeshare so now is the time to start rummaging around your cupboards for old shoes that don't fit or you no longer wear!  Shoeshare is a collaboration between UNICEF and Clarks Shoes which works towards improving Children's Rights around the world.  More than £1.6 million pounds has been raised by Shoeshare to help ensure that children all around the world have access to quality education.  

You can read more about the scheme here.

It's hard to believe that together we can make such a huge difference by the very simple act of sorting out our shoes but we really can, and every contribution does help.  Shoes need to be in pairs and if possible held together with an elastic band.  There will be a drop off point at the office or you can just send shoes in with your child at any point during the last week of term.  

Thanks in advance for your continued support in helping our children to learn about sustainability, the wider world that we live in and how to care for others. 
RRS:  Every child has the right to an education and to a clean and healthy environment.


On to our learning for this week, we will be:
  • Sharing the story "One Year with Kipper" and thinking about our first year at school.
  • Finishing the last of our handwriting patterns in our Start-Bee sessions.
  • Thinking about our project and checking if we have answered all of the questions we asked at the start of the project.
  • Discussing the story "The Worrysaurus" and "Finn's Little Fibs" in our Circle Time sessions.
  • Making maps and designing mazes in our Mathematics sessions.
  • Enjoying our last week in Pearl and Quartz together!


Our final drop in session for the year will be on WEDNESDAY.

Have a lovely weekend and we will see you all again on Monday, ready for our last week together!
Love
Miss Wakefield, Mrs O'Connor and Miss Langley
