Exploring water

Hello Everyone,

We had a great end to the term with the Caterpillars hatching in to beautiful Butterfly’s. They have now been set free to life in the outside world. The children loved this experience which was great to observe.

We hope you have all had lots of fun over the half term; we look forward to recording all your news stories over the coming week.

Over the next two weeks we will be looking at the theme of water.

We will look in to where our water comes from, water safety, floating and sinking,

Measure prediction of the weight of water. Hot/cold water. Collecting rain water and measuring how much rain we have had.

Countries which don’t have much water and how they get water.

This week we will be talking about being me in the world. This includes making relationships, managing feelings and behaviours. We will sing songs in the group focussing on if your happy and you know it. We will change the words and do other actions such as: smiles, hugs, help your friends, look after toys and make up actions for each.

Letters and Sounds 

This week we will be playing ‘Animals and the sounds they represent’ which is a listening game to see if you can describe what instrument sound suits the animals. It also encourages descriptive language such as: high, low, wobbly, loud, fierce, rough, and smooth. During the week we will also use the ‘Tappy sticks.’

Home Learning 

Please continue to share any Wow’s with us. Could you please bring in something from somewhere you may have visited over the holidays?

We look forward to sharing these during group times.
