Dear Parents and Carers,
The children have loved reading the story of Jack and the Beanstalk and were shocked to find that beanstalks had grown in their classrooms over the weekend. They have also been busy checking on the progress of the beans that they planted.
Looking forward to year one, we are going to begin encouraging the children to walk down the ramp independently to their classroom in the mornings. There is no rush to do this immediately, but only when you and your child feel they are ready. Staff will welcome the children as usual and support with choosing lunch or putting their things away if needed. Looking forward, we would hope most of the children will be able to achieve this by the end of the summer term. This week we will be reading 'Titch’ and ‘The Tiny Seed’ as we continue with our Growing and Changing topic. We will be planting sunflowers and looking at baby photos. Thank you to everyone who has emailed or sent in baby photos, there is still time if you would like to send one in for the children to look at.
Each class will be visiting the park on a seperate afternoon this week. Please make sure they have suncream or a coat depending on the weather and sensible shoes.
Communication and Language
We are encouraging children to use talk to organise, sequence and clarify thinking, ideas, feelings and events.
Physical Development
As we continue to develop the children’s fine motor strength we are now also focussing on their letter and number formation as well. Particularly encouraging and correcting backwards formed letters and numbers. The children are beginning to practise for sports day events in their PE lessons.
Maths
We will be focusing of the number 15 this week. This week will be introducing the concepts of doubling and halving. We will be doubling Numicon and numbers as well as learning the doubling rap. We will be cutting string and shapes in half as well as sharing objects in half.
Literacy
We will be writing recounts of our trip to Central park. The children will also be encouraged to write and send letters to their friends and family.
Understanding the World
We will be caring for our beans and observing them grow over the next few weeks. The children will also be helping to plant our herb garden outside. This week we will also plant some sunflowers. The children will be looking at baby photos and discussing similarities and differences between themselves and other children.
