Reception

What a hot week it has been. We have all been trying to keep ourselves cool in the shade for most of the day. Luckily we have the sun shelters outside to protect us from the rays. We mustn't complain though as the weather has been such a help over the last couple of months. I hope you enjoyed our Ocean topic. Next week we are learning about the cold. We have put lots of ideas on the class page for you to do at home. We have also included a video about Pip and Pop so take a look. We are sending out the children's reports in the post for those who are not at school. We have attached a section for you to fill out and return to us. If you would rather do this electronically please send them to my email: wsheehan@littleheath.herts.sch.uk. Please can you make sure you  respond in which ever way that suits you. It is important that we get your responses as it will help us to determine future planning for the children in Year 1. Have a great weekend. Mrs Sheehan

Hello all, We have had very unpredictable weather throughout the week with a mixture of sunshine, rain and even a bit of thunder. The rainy weather provided new play and learning opportunities for the children. While in the garden they have created a well in the digging area, made some potions and mud cakes. Most of our learning at the moment takes place outdoors as  it is safer in the current situation  and the children really enjoy it. It is lovely to see them using their imagination while playing with natural objects. Next week we are going to have lots of sunshine. If your child will attend school, please make sure they have sun cream on before they come to school. Hope the children have enjoyed Rain forest home learning this week. Next week we will be learning about Oceans. We have set up home learning activities for the children who are home schooling. I have sent the invitations to the zoom meeting for Monday at 1.30 pm for the children who won't be returning to school..

Hello all, It was lovely to see the children during our zoom meeting on Monday and hear what they have been  up to. They really seem to enjoy showing what they have created at home. For next week I have planned the Rainforest activities for Reception. I hope the children will enjoy this topic as it really allows them to  show their creativity. Please email pictures with your child's work to me or let them present it during our next zoom meeting. Let's hope we will get some sunshine this weekend. Take care Mrs Sheehan

Hello all, I hope that the children continue enjoying their home learning experience. The weather has changed now so we have to get used to wearing jumpers and coats which is hard after all those amazing weeks of sunshine. Children love the rainy weather and I am sure they will have a great fun playing in the puddles.  . Here is the link to  50 exciting ways to play in the rain https://mothernatured.com/nature-play/50-ways-to-play-in-the-rain/ Next week's home learning will be based on learning about different countries. You might want to focus on countries which your child has a connection with eg, members of your family or friends live there or you have visited it during your holidays. Next Monday afternoon we are going to have our zoom session for the children who are not in school. I have sent you the zoom invitations already.  I hope the children enjoy the sessions as much as I do. It is lovely to keep in touch  and to see what the children are up to. During our zoo
