This week we have had both a visit to the care home and a visit from them. The children love sharing their toys with the visitors and showing them what they have been doing, so it’s lovely that the better weather means that they can come.
The children have been doing a lot of cutting and sticking activities as these are good for developing their fine motor skills and getting them ready for school. They made a lovely display of their work.
They also made spiders and webs, which was quite challenging and good practice for the motor control they will need when they develop their writing.
On Friday we managed to find a real spider outside, which was very exciting!
We have been doing a lot of water play again. If you would like to send in a change of clothes for your child that would be good as it sometimes gets quite splashy!
We made carrot cakes this week. Some children could tell us what to do with the ingredients and had a go at grating the carrots. We talked about growing carrots and that they are a healthy food. Most of the children were really excited to try them as they smelt delicious!
To extend our learning on growing and eating we visited our Collings Park allotment. We hope to harvest some more food soon as our onions went down so well!
This week our makaton sign was ‘thank you’. See if your child can show you how to do it!
Our letter of the week next week will be ‘f’.
Mrs Chapple went on a safeguarding course this week and I had a visit from my assessor for the SENCo qualification. I think it went ok and will let you know!
Finally a couple of notifications:
Please can you ensure that you have signed the form to allow us to apply suncream to your child at lunchtime. We can’t do so until you have done this. Also if you would like us to apply our suncream and haven’t yet handed in £1 can you please do this too. Thank you!
Its very important that you let us know immediately if you have a change of address. Also phone number changes need to be passed on as it is vital that we can contact you if we need to. Thank you for your cooperation, 👍
