The very hungry caterpillar

Hello Everyone,

We had a very busy week last week reporting about everything we had done over the Easter break. We had great fun mark making these adventures and telling our friends all about them.

The children were a little bit unsure of the Chicks as they had grown so much and did not seem so cuddly and fluffy!

We had fun spotting all the new plants that have started to flower in the garden and learnt how to take care of these keeping them healthy.

This week we will be continuing our story focus on ‘The Hungry Caterpillar’ hopefully our delivery has arrived and we can set up our secure net area to watch the growth process of our Caterpillar’s. 

We will also be creating some display work and tasting some foods that the Caterpillars may like to see if we like them.

This week we will be talking about friendships and how we can encourage these friendships in the group.

Talking about what we like in group time to see what connections we have with others. Feelings and smiling, words to use if you don’t like something or would prefer not to join in. 

Letters and Sounds 

This week we will be playing ‘Teddy lost in the room’ it’s been a while since we have played this so it will be interesting to see who remembers how to play. We will also play ‘Tappy Sticks.’

Home Learning 

Please can you look for Bug’s when you are out walking and describe them with your child. We are hoping to build up on the descriptive language that your child already knows.

Notices

Please remember to check your Child’s post pocket when you hang up coats in the mornings, all important post will be there.

Don't forget to bring in your child's WOW moments. We love to share and celebrate these with everyone. There are spare WOW's by the WOW board in the corridor. 

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.
