Hello everyone,

This week we have been exploring a frog life cycle. The children were fascinated by the frog facts which we have learnt through information books, videos and pictures. They drew pictures of frogs and wrote facts about frogs.

Phonics

In phonics we practised reading words ending with -ing; -ed and -est e.g. swimming, smashed, softest. our tricky words were: out, today.

Maths

In maths we used 2D shapes to compose, decompose and arrange different shapes.








School trip

We are looking forward to Willows Farm school trip on Monday the 2nd of June. Please arrive to school at 8.45 as we will be leaving around 9am. 

The children should be wearing comfortable clothing and footwear. All should wear socks and bring a long sleeve t-shirt which is required for soft play equipment.

Please put sun cream on at home before the trip and bring a sun hat if it is a hot day.

The children should bring packed lunch in a disposable ( plastic) bag and a regular water bottle in case we need to refill the bottle.

We will be back in school around 3pm so you can collect the children at a usual time 3.10 pm from the Foundation building.

Have a brilliant half term!

Mrs Sheehan

  Hello all, This week was all about spiders. We red information books to fid our amazing facts about spiders e.g. Spiders have oily legs so they don't stick to their webs. Water spiders live in webs full of water. When we came to school on Friday, we couldn't believe our eyes. There were spiders webs everywhere!!! We had a walk around the school grounds and we found lots beautifully crafted webs.  Our focus story this week was The very busy spider by Eric Carl. The children created amazing webs for our school corridor display. If you manage to take a picture of a web or a spider at the weekend, please send a picture to school or email it to me.

Mental Health Week

 Our focus this week has been children's  mental health, we created lots of activities to support the children with their understanding of emotions. The children have a good understanding of what emotions are and we have spent time learning strategies to help us understand that all emotions are important and play a role in who we are. The children had a good understanding of  how they feel and they were all able to say that its good to talk about their feelings. We created some crazy hair photos which the children enjoyed making, they added words that expressed how they feel which was very enlightening. We  told stories and  made our own to demonstrate different ways to deal with different emotions. Although we have focused on  children's mental health  it is something that we do continually in early years. Supporting and encouraging children to understand emotions is very important. We tell them that sometimes it is ok not to be brave or strong, its o...
