February / March 2010
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.
