For more information on your child’s learning this week, please check the ‘Latest News’ section for their year group - Reception or KS1.

This week the children have started their new science topic, learning about plants. They have been investigating the different parts of a plant and using word cards to label them. The children have also enjoyed doing observational drawings in art and taking part in a memory turn-taking game to identify the different parts.

Over the next few weeks, the children will be planting and caring for their own seeds and completing observational charts to record how they grow.

   

The children have enjoyed the warmer weather developing their social skills, participating  in turn taking games and developing their imaginative play.

  

 

Messages: 

Thank you to the families that regularly read and return your child’s reading folder on Mondays.

Can I please ask all the parents to please read with your child at home at least 5 times a week and return the signed reading record folders weekly.  This is a very important part of your child’s reading journey.

In addition you can enjoy reading other stories to them, stop half way through and you can both predict the ending, talk about the story making links to other books, can they retell the story? Can they answer a few questions about the story?
