Term: Autumn 2 Date 14.12.15
We were so proud of the children last week. When they perform in the Christmas concert it is very daunting for children of that age, but they all coped well. Mr Drakes recorded it and it can be found on the EYFS page, If you would like to view it.

Learning Challenge
As mentioned
last week, each half term we will be setting
our pupils a challenge related to their learning, this is in line with the rest
of the school. We believe
that it is important for us to provide guidance for parents on how their
children's learning can be extended at home.
The learning
challenge will include either a nursery rhyme, illustration or a piece of
music. Please talk to your child about the challenge and help them to engage in
their learning. The children can choose how they present
their learning challenge outcomes to their teacher or class however the table
below details some ideas for the learning challenge.
Poem/Song to learn:
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Twinkle,
twinkle, little star,
How I wonder
what you are!
Up above the
world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How
I wonder what you are!
