Weekly Update - Friday 4th April 2025
Summary of this week:
Wow what a busy last week of term!
The children have thoroughly enjoyed working in the sunshine in the outdoor classroom. We have been busy gardening, litter picking, creating a new cupboard for our water resources and cleaning in the spirit of helping others. The children had a wonderful Friday taking part in an Easter egg hunt in the EY environment followed by making easter flower cakes.
Our learning after half term:
Makaton signs: Easter Talk for writing book: Peepo by Janet and Allan Ahlberg Song of the week: Jack and Jill Makaton signs: a long time ago |
Homework:
Over Easter explore some photos or videos of how life used to be in Britain. At the museum we will have the opportunity to take part in an old wash day – hand scrubbing the clothes with soap and a dolly.
Notices & Reminders:
We are pleased to announce that our PE sessions will begin on Tuesday 22nd April. The children need to arrive in their PE kit ready to meet coach Dan for a prompt 9 am start.
As you know Swimming will start on Friday 25th April. If you have any questions or concerns around swimming, please come and speak to a member of staff. Swimming is a wonderful activity for the children at school and we want as many children as possible to enjoy the experience (especially when the sun is shining!) If you have a DBS and are able to come and help on a Friday morning, please sign up to the parent link on the weekly newsflash. Thank you in advance to those who have signed up to help.
On PE and Swimming days please try arrive at school on time at 8:45 so we can prepare the children (toilet runs etc) before heading to our lessons.
Thank you to the parents who have signed up to support on our school trip. We now have enough adults to accommodate the trip which is fantastic. We are looking forward to a lovely day out.
Our school Instagram page is now up and running and the EY children have made their first appearance! If you would like to sign up to follow the Instagram page please see the link below.
We would love to share our learning with as many parents as possible so please take the opportunity to follow.
