The hungry Caterpillar and Mini beasts

Hello Everyone,

We had a great week hearing about all the fun you had during the half term. Please have a look on our display board to see the lovely news your children shared with us.

We have seen a lot of progression in the mark making of the children with lots of details now being added to their drawings. The children love the extra space in the garden being able to use their imaginations and create new games during their play. We have lots planned for the garden so, watch this space.

This week we will continue our ‘Hungry Caterpillar’ and ‘Mini Beasts’ work. This week we will be making simple patterns and seeing how well the children can recreate these. Our Butterfly eggs will be arriving soon I’m sure your children will let you know when they arrive in the  classroom. We will also go on a bug exploring hunt this week to see what we may spot out in the outside space.

Letters and Sounds

Listening to the noises that instruments make and following instructions went well. This week we will continue with repeating sounds back as this was more of a challenge.

Jigsaw

We will be playing some team games this week to reinforce names of our friends.

During the week we will also play ‘Teddy lost in the room’ to see how the children’s listening skills are improving.

This is to help reinforce Personal, Social and Emotional Development and help them to make life choices. 

Home Learning 

Thank you for the Wow’s this week they have been great to see. 

Toilet training has been going well for those that have started over the last few weeks.

The main important factor is to be consistent not to confuse your child. Keep up the great start to the term and see you all tomorrow.

Notices

As the weather is starting to warm, please could all children bring sun hats to school. We do have a box of spares if needed. If you have applied suncream to your child before school please could you let a member of staff know. If you have ticked to supply your own suncream, please could you make sure children have this when they come to pre-school ready for us to apply.
