This week we have been reading the Three Little Pigs. We have used the story to find out about materials. We have built houses and tested them to see which is the strongest (the wind was provided by a hair dryer - a tropical wind, not North East England wind!). Some of us have written our own versions of the story and drawn pictures of the characters.
Remember that we are off on Monday for the Bank Holiday.
We are running a Squiggle, Phonics, Writing and Reading session for Parents on Wednesday. Please speak to a member of staff to sign up.

Week 2: The Gingerbread Man
This week in Early Years we are reading "The Gingerbread Man", retold by Mairi Mackinnon.
Each Key Worker has lots of different activities planned, including testing gingerbread men to see what will happen if they get wet, acting out the story, finding out about healthy and unhealthy foods and visiting the local shops to buy ingredients for their gingerbread men.
Ways to help at home
If you want to help at home this week, you could talk about ways you stay fit and healthy in your house. What sorts of things contribute to a healthy lifestyle?
Photograph orders
The group photo orders were sent home on Wednesday. If you would like to order one of these photographs, please return the order form and money (cash/cheque/details on the order form) by next Wednesday (29th April).
Reminders
Please make sure Reception children have their PE kit in school every Friday. They need to bring their reading books and homework bags on Thursdays and Forest School restarts on Wednesday this week.

Summer Term
This half term we are going to read some traditional tales, including Little Red Riding Hood, The Gingerbread Man, The Three Pigs, The Frog Prince and Jack & the Beanstalk. We will be learning about the features of traditional tales. In Magic Maths we will be exploring capacity, length, weight, money, time, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
Diary dates will go out on the newsletter on Wednesday next week. We have arranged several parent sessions this half term and there are a few other things happening. I will put the dates on here too as soon as they are confirmed.
We hope you have had a lovely Easter and look forward to seeing you all next week!
