We hope you have had an enjoyable
half term. Our theme this half term will be CLOTHES. Based on
this topic, Mother's Day and Easter various activities will be
planned across the six areas of learning. We will be finding out
about each others favourite clothes, uniforms and clothes from
around the world. We will be making Easter bonnets to wear at
our Easter fashion show to which you will all be invited. You
can support our topic further at home by talking to your children
about the clothes they wear - discuss garments' names, describe
the colours and patterns. Let you child help sort out washing
according to colours and the fabrics from which they are made.
Encourage your child to look out for and recognise uniforms worn
by people they see.
As
well as our clothing activities we will also be enjoying Easter
activities which will include making cards and practising name
writing, an Easter Egg hunt, the above mentioned fashion show
and also hopefully a children's entertainer.
With
regard to letters and sounds', this half term we will be concentrating
on alliteration e.g. Postman Pat picked up a pile of parcels,
which will help emphasise initial letter sounds in words.
Toddler
parents will have already been informed about our new 'step up'
group. If you would like a regular extra session or one now and
again, please ask Karen or Sally to check availability. Our parent's
evening for children moving on to reception class in September
will be held on Tuesday 23rd March.
