We have had a wonderful time celebrating World Book Week this week and the children had so much fun dressing up as their favourite book character. We shared our favourite stories, designed our own book covers and had a special visit from author Sara Momtaz.
In RE, we have encountered the events of Palm Sunday. We learned a new song to welcome Jesus into Jerusalem and made our own palm leaves.
In mathematics, we have been identifying matching pairs and talking about shapes and patterns we notice.
We ended the week learning about Mother’s day and talking about how wonderful our mummies are: “I love my mummy she makes me laugh and plays with me.” “My mummy is so kind.” We enjoyed using our art and craft skills to make cards for our lovely mummies. Happy Mother’s day to all our lovely mummies.

Wow we can’t believe it is the half term already! It has been a fantastic six weeks back and we have made so much progress.
This week in RE, we have been learning more about our purpose as Catholics and as citizens of society to show love and kindness to others. We really enjoyed helping the wider community this week by hosting our very own community bike and scooter wash, Mr Doherty even came by to see us in action. Look out for the pictures on ARC! We worked so well together as a team to clean all the bikes and scooters. We have also been busy making pictures, cards and paintings for those we love and care about and developing our creative and fine motor skills as we draw and write names on our pictures and cards.
In mathematics, we have been helping Goldilocks make things right with the three bears by comparing capacity and filling up containers with the appropriate amounts of porridge and learning new key mathematical vocabulary.
In Literacy, we have been developing our story telling skills by thinking of our own stories and retelling them to our teacher. Our work has been published and displayed in an anthology and we are not only authors but also illustrators because we drew pictures for out stories too!
In Topic, we have used our knowledge of the Antarctic to plan a trip to help reunite Penguin with his lost friend. We made maps, built boats, made missing posters and packed appropriate clothing for the trip.
We have also enjoyed name writing, colour mixing, listening to stories, action songs, exploring the mud kitchen, building and puddle jumping!

Thank you to all those who brought in their scooters and bikes for the community bike and scooter wash, the children really enjoyed taking on this responsibility and working together as a team.

Please positively support your child to learn a nursery rhyme of their choice. The rota will be posted outside the classroom on Monday 19th February and will commence on Tuesday 20th February so please be prepared.

This week in RE, we have been recalling the Nativity story and learning about the Epiphany. We understand that the Three wise men followed the brightest star to Jesus and took him gifts to show their love and respect for the new king. We have been re-enacting these stories through small world play, making chalk stars, drawing maps and developing fine motor skills through wrapping gifts and writing labels to give to people we love.
In literacy, we have continued to learn about penguins and Antarctica. We have made our own penguins using arts and craft materials. We have listened to What the Lady bird Heard by Julia Donaldson, All the way home and The Good Samaritan. We have been showing lots of interest in writing our names and enjoyed developing our letter formation in the salt trays as well as learning to write our names on our drawings and art pieces.

We have run out of girls underwear so please return if you have any at home. Thank you.
Finally, focus weeks have started out very well thank you for returning the planning for your child forms and checking Arc each day to see your child’s observations if it is your child’s focus week. The questions you have been asking on the forms have been lovely to read and I look forward to answering them during parents evening at the end of the term.

Happy new year everyone and welcome to the Spring term. It has already got off to an excellent start with so much reconnecting and learning this week.
We have begun our new topic ‘When I was younger’ and will be focussing on how we have changed since we were babies and how much we have achieved already through the new skills we have learned as we have grown.
In Literacy, we have taken trip to Antarctica to meet the Emperor penguins and learn about the special roles they have in looking after a chick and surviving in a cold and icy habitat.
This has linked nicely into mathematics where we have been focusing on measurement, in particular height, and have been using cubes to measure and compare the height of penguins. This has lead on to noticing and discussing height in other objects and one another. We have also been learning some new counting nursery rhymes ‘Five little speckled frogs’ and ‘Five little men on a flying saucer’ and are beginning to participate in solving simple subtraction number problems.
In RE, we have recalled the Nativity story through small world play and begun our weekly collective worships.
Also this week we have been using everyday objects to paint with such as cups and forks, we have been drawing penguins following a six part instruction which has helped us to draw shapes more effectively and we have been exploring why ice melts in our Antarctic themed activity tray.
We have been enjoying stories, writing our names, playing games and role play in larger groups, role playing hospitals and chefs and making boats using the junk modelling.
Such a fantastic start to the Spring term!
Notices
Thank you so much for all the donations we really appreciate it so much.
Thank you for the baby photos I have thoroughly enjoyed receiving them they are extremely precious and I look forward to sharing them with the children to support their topic learning this term.
This term, each week there will be focus children who will be observed more closely and these observations will be shared with you on Arc. I believe everyone is set up and using Arc already but if you are not active and need some help to get going please speak to me I will be happy to assist. You will be notified the week before of your child focus week and will be asked to fill out a small planning for your child learning form I will also ask that you share a few photos on Arc from learning and experiences of home during that week.
Please ensure your child is in the correct uniform and shoes for Nursery.
The nursery gate am opening times are 8:30-8:40am. Please collect your children promptly at 11.30 so that the children who are staying for the afternoon don’t have to wait too long for their lunch.
