Hello everyone!
We hope you have all had a lovely Easter break. We are looking forward to seeing the children again to start the Summer term. We would be really grateful if the children could bring in their sheets about our Minibeasts project this coming week. If you are unable to find them, then they can also be found here.
On to our new learning for this coming week:
- Sharing the story "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle.
- Watching a film version of the story and comparing it to the book.
- Sequencing the events in the story.
- Starting our new Reading sessions (see below).
- Learning a song to help us remember the days of the week.
- Creating our own repeating pattern caterpillars, printing using corks.
- Starting our new units in JIGSAW and Charanga.
- Playing a new Circle Time game, trying to pass bells around our circle without them making a sound!
- Starting our swimming lessons again on Wednesday!
New Reading Scheme
As mentioned at the parent/teacher meetings, we collected in everyone's reading book prior to the Easter break in order to make way for the new reading scheme we are starting. The children will have a book which they will use in Guided Reading during the first week back and then on Friday 19th April, they will be bringing this book home as their home reading book. It will be really important that the children keep this book in their book bags as we will need to collect them in weekly to swap for the next ones.
Art Day
Our first day back after the holidays is whole school Art Day. On this day, the children will be taking part in a range of activities. Therefore they need to come to school wearing clothes that they can get messy in as they will spend the day being artists!
See you on Monday!
Miss Wakefield, Mrs O'Connor and Miss Langley
