Foundation Stage's Diary

For our final half term our topic will be 'In the Woods'. 

We will enjoy a variety of traditional tales focusing closely on 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears'.  

The children will research bears around the world and explore differences and similarities between them. 

Towards the end of this half term we will be inviting parents into school to celebrate your child's successes with us in the form of a Teddy Bear's Picnic. We will be sending a letter out to you soon. 

Enjoy the last few days of your holiday and we'll see you on Monday ready and raring to go!

The children have absolutely LOVED our mini beast topic this half term. 

They have observed our caterpillars change into butterflies every day with awe and wonder and enjoyed a range of mini beast activities. 

Click here for a sneak peak at some of the things we have been up to. 

We are extremely excited about our next topic: Minibeasts in the Garden. It is always a firm favourite with the children. 

We look forward to going on minibeast hunts around the school grounds, reading and writing minibeast facts and exploring the life cycle of a butterfly first hand in the classroom. 

Our key text next half term will be: The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Have a great Easter break and we'll see you ready and raring to go soon!

Happy Snow Day!!

Here are some activities to do at home...

1. Take a photo and write a sentence about your day in the snow to put in your homework book. 

2. Painting in the snow. 

3. Bring some various sized snowballs into the house on a tray-explore what happens to them. Which melt first? Why?

4. Time how fast you can sledge down a hill. Race a friend or family member. Who has traveled the furthest? 

HAVE FUN!

This half term our topic is 'On the Farm'. Please see our curriculum newsletter on the website for more info. 

Our key text will be 'Dora's Egg's'. The children will get to know this story extremely well! 

Why not go down to your local library and find our class text. You'll be surprised by how well your child knows it!
