Please bring the bottles in on Friday only. Some PTA members will kindly collect the bottles ready for the tombola stall at the forthcoming Summer Fair.

Summer Fair Saturday 8th July

We are really looking forward to the Summer Fair which will be happening next Saturday 8th July. There will be many stalls with great food and music and a chance to enjoy a community event together. 

Please see the article from the PTA below for further details.

Arts Week 

Next week is arts week. 

If you have one, it would be good if you could send your child in with an apron or an old oversized shirt as we expect to be very creative! We will follow with updates and details next week of how you can come in to view some of the masterpieces that have been produced.

House Points…

What have we been learning about in Year R this week?

At the beginning of the week the children met their Year 1 class teacher, Miss Hollingshead. She came in for the day on Monday and spent some time joining in with the children’s activities and getting to know each child. She also did a circle time with the children to get to know their names and likes/dislikes.

The children enjoyed looking at everyone’s baby photos this week. They had lots of fun trying to guess who it was in the class. Thank you to everyone for providing your child with a photo. Linked to exploring the baby photos we have been talking about the different stages of our growth from a baby to adulthood.

In Maths the children have been learning about repeating patterns and have been creating their own repeating patterns using natural materials in the outside area. They have also been making patterns using the pegs and peg boards and multilink cubes.

The children have also been learning the story ‘The Gigantic Turnip’ and creating their own story maps to remember the order of the story. They have also been drawing and painting turnips.

Next week:

Earlier in the week you should have received an email asking for boxes. Please could you bring in any empty cereal bar boxes or tissue boxes you may have by Monday as each child is going to need one to complete an art project for our Arts Week next week. Arts Week is linked around the theme ‘Identity’ and the children will be designing and creating their own character using the boxes.

In Maths the children will be focusing on number formation which will help prepare them for Year 1 where they will be writing numbers more often in their Maths sessions.

The children will also be continuing their work linked to the text ‘The Gigantic Turnip’. They will be discussing the different animals in the story and choosing their favourite one to write about.

Have a lovely weekend

The Year R team
