Happy Holidays!

We hope you all have a lovely half term, whatever the weather may bring!

For the last half term our topic is Wonderful World. Each week we will have a different country as a focus and children will be immersed in the sights, sounds and tastes of culture of that country! We will be using the money raised from the sponsored hop for workshops such as 'Indian Dance' and 'Sushi Making' and our 'Egyptian Day'.

Please note that we are also attending a 'Forest School Day' on Friday 16th July with http://www.gowildwithusuk.com/. We do not need parent contributions (or attendance) for this as we are using what we did not spend on the coach from the last trip. 

The key dates are as follows. 

05^th June       - First day back for all

15^th June       - Cake Sale – 2pm (Rec playground) Reception parents only

The Weather!

The weather has been a bit unpredictable lately! 

Please could children bring a coat to school in case of rain but also a hat and sun cream applied if it looks to be a sunny day. As always, please ensure everything is named.

Sponsored space hop

We have all now participated in the space hop.
Some of us managed to do 8-10 laps, which was amazing.
If you have your sponsorship form at home, please can you bring this in.

Well done everyone!

Sponsored Hop!

Sponsored Hop! 

Today we have given the children a sponsorship sheet for the sponsored hop. The purpose of this activity is for children to become more familiar with money and money related vocabulary. We would like the children to ask friends and family to sponsor them. Your child may need a little help to fill in the sheet, however should do it themselves, writing and saying "pence" and "pound" as necessary.

At the end of the week when we have (hopefully!) completed our space hop, your child can collect their money from each person, handling it themselves and using vocabulary related to coins. 

Alien diaries!

As you know Baby Aliens recently crash landed in our playground! They are very friendly and often 'move' at night!

We have decided to take them home at the weekends so they don't get lonely! Each Friday two children from each class will be chosen to take the aliens home. The aliens each have a 'diary' to record their weekend. 

We would like the children to write the diary (not parents) of what the aliens get up to. 

Let children sound out their own recount of what happened, the writing does not need to be 'perfect'! If you wish to correct spellings - focus on the high frequency 'tricky words' that are in their book bag. 

Feel free to include drawings or photos if you wish! We have done the first page as an example. Please bring the alien and diary back on Mondays so we can share with the class. 

Every child will have a go at taking an alien home!
