It was great to have a visit from Scott the Paramedic last week; we hope you had a chance to look at the photos.  We are looking forward to a visit from the Fire Brigade this week as long as they don’t get a ‘shout’.  We will be reading ‘Fireman Sam’ and we will be revisiting a selection of our songs from the topic.

 We will continue with the teaching of phonics, we will teach ‘c’ next, the phrase is ‘Curl around the caterpillar’.

The children will all have an opportunity to make an Easter card and nest this week and we will be talking to them about the meaning of Easter.
