Term: Summer 2 Date 13.6.16
This week we are focusing on the story 'Billy's Bucket' a story of a boy who is bought a magical bucket for his birthday. Within the bucket Billy can see a variety of magnificent sea creatures. It is a great way to introduce the children to marine life before our trip to the beach on Friday 17th June. Please remember the Reception doors will be open from 8.10am this Friday as we will need to be leaving the Reception classrooms at 8.25am. As Reception will not be in school for the queens birthday celebrations on Friday, EYFS will celebrate the queens birthday this Thursday. The children can wear red, white or blue.
Please see the end of the Newsletter for more Key Dates.
Your child will be taking part in the following activities within the seven areas of development (activities are subject to change, depending on the children’s interests; however, the skills remain the same):

Due to of the volume of drink money being collected, distributed and organising the change for drinks is beginning to take away valuable teaching time. We kindly request that if you would like your child to purchase a drink (30p each) that they bring in the correct money daily in a labelled purse, envelope or wallet, which can be kept in your child's tray.
