30.06.25 - This coming week in Early Years

Hello everyone!

We've had a lovely week this week, releasing our butterflies into our garden on Tuesday and then showing off our beautiful wildflower garden to our special visitors today. Next week we will have our first visits to our new classes.

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

• Starting to think about some real life superheroes and how they might help us. 
• Sharing and discussing the story "Meesha Makes Friends" in our Circle Time session.
• Exploring mapping in our Mathematics sessions, including trying to make some of our own.
• Working on some difficult patterns in our handwriting sessions, remembering to try and manage it all in one pencil stroke.
• Finding out about our new classes and visiting them for the first time.

Don't forget school is open for all of our families on Thursday from 3.30pm until 5pm. This is an opportunity for you to see some of the lovely work that has been happening this year and for you and your child to visit their new classroom. Therefore, there is no separate drop in session this week. 

We hope you all have a lovely weekend!

16.06.25 - This coming week in Early Years

Hello everyone! 

We have had an exciting week this week, with our caterpillars growing and our eggs arriving. This is really supporting the children in their understanding of life cycles. We also enjoyed our shopping this afternoon and hope that all our gifts and cards will be very much appreciated on Sunday!

Next week is Sports Day. This is on Friday and the children will be on the field all day - it is meant to be warm again too! The children need to wear their team colour, if you are not sure what this is, it is the colour of their reading folders!! (Or just ask!)

On to our learning for next week, we will be:

• Writing about our chickens, describing how they have hatched from eggs and writing about the things they can do.
• Working on patterns in our Mathematics sessions, identifying the unit of repeat and saying how many repeats there are.
• Watching the story "One Odd Day" and making our own odd creatures.
• Sharing and discussing the stories "Ravi's Roar" and "Milo's Monster" in our Circle Time sessions. 
• Creating some flying superheroes, using our hands.
• Enjoying Sports Day on Friday!

Drop in will be on Tuesday.

Have a lovely weekend!
