Weekly Update

Thursday 26th November

This week our book ‘Dinosaur Roar’ has proved to be very popular with the children who have produced some amazing descriptive dinosaur books! Next week we will be kicking off the Christmas fun with our story of ‘The Nativity’. We will be getting to know the story through acting out our performance parts together.

Next week reminders and dates:

Please remember to bring in your child’s Nativity costume in a named bag. If there are any issues with this, please speak to a member of the team who will be happy to help.
Considering the current lockdown, please stay back on the drop off path at pick up and drop off. If you have any messages to pass on to the class teachers please email them to yearr@eastwick.thpt.org.uk we will check this each morning. We are also always happy to chat on the phone so feel free to request a phone call via email and we will get a time organised.
Now we are starting to send home tapestry observations it would be great if you could send us any comments or observations of your child’s learning at home. We would love to hear what you think.
We are now beginning our Christmas activities. If you have any Christmas craft bits you would like to donate to our Sticking area we would be very grateful.
