Our learning last week (16th- 19th April):

We have really enjoyed our immersion days as  "Extroidinary Gardeners", we have learnt what a gardener does and what they look like. We have looked at differenet types of garden nd how we would change them or what plants we would put inside them. We have also started thinking about the creatures that are living in our gardens. With the arrival of our caterpillars we have have been exploring their life cycles  through the story of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle.

Next week we will be starting our "Bikeability" programme which helps children to learn how to ride a balance bike. We will beginning with those chilsren who are unable to rided a balance bike and working up to those who are already riding bikes independently. Helmets and bike are provided by the scheme but please have trainers in school every day as we dont want to scuff their school shoes as we teach the children to stop the bike with their feet.

Our PE day if Friday but please bring in kits on a Monday where they can stay in the children's lockers until Friday, as they will need trainers for their Bikeability sessions too. . Please make sure your child can dress and undress themselves independently.

Junk Modelling Area

Thisis still a very popular area of the classroom, so if you have any unwanted yoghurt pots, cardboard tubes, small boxes, vegetable spread pots, string or ribbon all donations would be very greatfully recieved.

Reading Books

Please can I remind you that Reading books will only be changed on a Monday unless your child is absent or it is a bank holiday. Please can you write a comment to say that you have read with your child's book with them, unless the book has been read on 3 different occasions the reading book will not be changed. Many Thanks
