Please note, after Easter, your child will need plimsolls/trainers in their PE bag as our PE lessons will be outdoors. 

With the warmer weather approaching, please ensure your child brings a bottle of water to school each day. Please also ensure your child brings a hat to school as we will be outside during our Discovery Time. Please ensure you have applied sun cream in the morning before school. Your child can bring sun cream into school to apply at lunchtimes but please be aware that they will need to apply this themselves as staff are not permitted to do this.  

Please also ensure cardigans and jumpers are named as the children will be taking these off and they can get easily lost if they are not named. 

Phonics 

Thank you for all your hard work and support with Phonics at home. The children have made an amazing start with their reading. Please continue to regularly practise your sound cards, tricky words and reading books. Please ensure your child's reading books come into school everyday. Their Big Cat book will continue to be changed on a Friday.

Let's Tell a Story

A parent came in to tell us a traditional tale, however, they got in a complete muddle and confused several tales together. They were in a right mess! The children will learn to use story telling language and use their imaginations to retell several traditional tales through role play, puppets and story sacks. They will also look at the choices characters made and begin to think about right and wrong decisions. 

Parents are invited to come in and listen to some traditional tales told by their child.

Home Learning 

Vocabulary 

During this project, we will be introducing the children to some specific vocabulary. The children will learn a definition for each of the vocabulary words and will learn to use them orally in sentences. Please explore these words with your child.
