In explore galore we have talked about animals that hibernate and animals that need somewhere warm and safe in the cold weather.
Notices & Reminders:
This week for Show and Tell we are asking for special items. This has come from out RE curriculum where we will be focusing on the question ‘What makes something special?’
We are hoping to run some small local trips, such as going to the local library. To enable these trips to happen we would need parent volunteers to support us. We would be keen to find out how many parents would be available to help us. We are hoping to run these small outings on a Monday or Tuesday. If you could come and along and support us, please let the class teacher know.
In the Summer term we have our school trip to the rural life museum and in school swimming lessons. Both exciting opportunities require parent volunteers. If you would like to support us with either the school trip or swimming, you would need a DBS. The process can take a little while so if you are interested, please have a look at the link on the school website soon to ensure your DBS is here in time. Thanks in advance for your support.
Please keep reading books and reading diaries in the children’s book bag every day. The days that we have our reading practice sessions might change from week to week and it’s important that the children have their books with them. We have said to the children to simply return their books to their bags after they have read with you each evening. Hope that helps! Thank you
