Hello everyone...

 





Year 1


Hello Everyone, 


We have had a brilliant week of learning together.

Monday - the children really enjoyed looking for leaves, we collected all different sizes and then we painted them and did leaf print pictures in the afternoon.

Tuesday - the children created firework pictures which they loved and there was lots of language talk about the fireworks they had seen over the last few days. They also loved the stretchy band song and worked well together.

Wednesday- the children created poppy’s for remembrance day, made poppy biscuits and watched the CBBC animation about remembrance day.

Thursday - the children put on rainsuits and we went and found some puddles on the school playground. We also had a team game of football on the field. We found some trees and created some bark rubbing pictures. We also had tappy sticks and did a listening sound walk on the way round. 

Friday - We painted pictures and made Pudsey masks. A great fun week was had by all.



This week we will be learning all about the animals and the changes of some of these creatures during this period of time. We have lots of fun things planned for the week.


Notices

If you could bring a spare change of clothes for your child this is always helpful. Please bring a drinking bottle that can be left at preschool for the whole year, clearly named. Please ensure they do not have a straw. These will be put through the dishwasher after every session.

You may find your child is very tired over the next few weeks while they are adjusting to all their new surroundings. This is normal. We do have a quiet down time after lunch. 


On Thursday we have story time at 3.10pm, everyone welcome.

This week we will using the tappy sticks and taking it in turns to copy the leader which I’m sure will be great fun.

Please try to leave all toys/comfort objects in your child’s bag. We can then keep track of what has come out so they don’t get lost.


We will be having a parents information session coming up soon when all the children for this term have joined the class.
