Thank you for supporting your children with home learning. The diaries they have created are fantastic and we will place them in children's learning journals.
This week we have carried out floating and sinking experiments. The children were very observant and enthusiastic while testing different objects in the water. We will continue with the experiments outdoors on a bigger scale next week as lots of sunshine should be coming our way. The children would love to make boats and floating objects which they could test in the water. Please bring some plastic containers, trays, wine corks, etc to school so the children can create their floating designs.

We are sorry we had to cancel the trip but the coach cost was very high and then the entrance fee on top would have made it a very expensive day so we have decided to have a picnic in the grounds, weather permitting. This will be held on the same day in the afternoon so you are all welcome to join us.
children will be making their own food so please do not bring anything in for them. This also eliminates any risk for children with food allergies.
Sports Day - Thursday 27th of June 9.30-11am
Next week we are having our Sports Day, weather permitting. I hear it may be a hot one so please make sure your child has a sun hat and sun cream on. You are welcome to come and support your child during the morning. The children are grouped with 2 children from each year group to do the activities. You can follow your child's group around and cheer them on. We organise the groups in the main sports hall then bring them into the playground. If you wait in that area you will see your child's group which you can then follow. It sounds complicated but it generally runs smoothly. If you cant find your child's group find me and I will point you in the right direction.
I hope you all have a great weekend.
Mrs Sheehan

 Hello all, This week we have begun learning songs for the Harvest Festival. The children found lots of colourful autumn leaves in the garden which they have used for cooking in our mud kitchen. We have seen lots of amazing pies and beautifully decorated cakes.  The children also loved doing a puppet show. They used puppets and dressed up to perform for their friends. Following the children's interest, next week, we will create our own puppets. Phonics  In phonics the children have been introduced to the letter sounds: i, n, m, d. Please revisit these sounds at home during the weekend. We greatly appreciate your support. Please, use the link below to access Little Wandle's section for parents.

 Welcome back,  It has been a good week in foundation and the children seem very happy to be back with their friends. We have created a Winter area for the children to play and learn in, with lots of activities relating to the cold. I have included some photos for you to see.  Next week we are going to be starting  stay and play sessions. We have put families into groups so that we don't have too many people in the unit at once. Please make sure that you know what date you are invited to join us and speak to me if you have any queries. Child Initiated Stay and Play Sessions Happy New Year to you all.

 Hello all, We have a had a very Chinese week in the unit with lots of exciting activities relating to the Chinese New Year. The children have made Chinese dragons, prepared and eaten noodles using chop sticks, looked at China on our map and learnt about the Chinese Zodiac story. It has been a very busy week. The children have also tried to do some Chinese writing which was fantastic. We always enjoy this festival as it really captivates their interest  especially as we are looking at other countries each day on our map. On Tuesday, Reception class went for their first school trip to The Snow Centre. The children were very excited going on a coach as for most of them it was the first time having that experience. I'm glad all the children found the courage to go down the slope. The children were amazing and the staff from the centre commented on our children's excellent behaviour. Next week is half term and we are all looking forward to a rest. I hope you all have a good b...
