Week 1, Term 3

Welcome back to term 3!
It is lovely to have everyone back well rested and safe. It is especially great to have Yannis and his family back with us.
Much to the children's delight we have started our painting unit for this term. In fact I can throw away my plan as the children seem to have fantastic ideas of their own! Here we are below experimenting with a 'combing' technique.

It was fun to catch up with our big buddies this week. We took time to share our poetry books with them.

Next week...
Our sounds will be z,w,and th.
Our words will be when/with.
During maths we will continue to look at time. We will be using analogue clocks to learn the hour and half hour.
Our folk dancing has got off to a great start with lots of giggles and enthusiasm.
Thank you to all the parents that have made interview times. I look forward to meeting with you and sharing your children's successes.
Next week we have the Life Education Trust bus here. We have 2 sessions in the bus and the topic we have selected is 'All Together'. This unit of work covers how we need to cooperate with others so we can grow together in a happy and safe environment. I think this is a very appropriate topic for our age group as good social skills are paramount for the success of our children.
Have a happy and safe week.
