The Frog Prince

This week we are reading The Frog Prince. This story will help us to concentrate on the features of a traditional tale as well as beginning to look at different signs of spring and life cycles.

We will be starting to make our Easter cards this week ready to send home next Wednesday. We are also going to look at the Easter story and find out why we celebrate Easter. We will be watching the Easter episode of Let's Celebrate on the CBeebies website. http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/watch/lets-celebrate-easter

In Magic Maths we will be practising our problem solving skills and looking at time and money.

We will be practising our letter formation and writing skills in lots of different ways too.

Ways to help at home
Talk about the signs of Spring. What happens to the weather? What is happening in the garden? What do the birds do?

Next week...
Wednesday, 23rd March is a busy day in Early Years. As well as being the last day of term, the photographer will be returning to take our group photograph. This will be done during normal sessions. Children must attend in full school uniform. Please be aware that they will have to remove their shoes for the photographs too.
If you missed the individual photographs a couple of weeks ago and you would still like your child to have a photograph taken, please speak to Miss Dews on Wednesday.
We also have an Open Afternoon in Early Years on Wednesday afternoon from 2pm - 3pm. The Easter Raffle will be drawn during this event too. Tickets are still available from Mrs. McGee and prizes are on display in the Blue Room.

We return to school/nursery on Monday, 11th April.

Goldilocks & the Three Bears

This week we are reading the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. It is outdoor week in Early Years so we will be spending most of the week exploring the school grounds. We will be learning about positional language and problem solving in Magic Maths. We will be talking about the features of our environment and using the ipads to take photographs of different places around school.

Please note: the Open Afternoon will be on WEDNESDAY, 23rd MARCH at 2pm (not Thursday 24th March as it stated on the newsletter). School will be closed on Thursday, 24th March for a teacher training day. Apologies for any inconvenience.

Our individual photographs were taken on Wednesday last week. If you would like to order the photograph please make sure the order and payment is back to school by Friday this week. The photographer is returning on Wednesday, 23rd March (both sessions) to take our class photograph. If your child was absent last week and you would like them to have a photograph taken please inform Miss Dews.
