Week 5 (20/03/17)

Dear Parents/ Carers,

This week we have continued to answer the children’s questions. The children listened to the story of a little girl and used their imagination to think about what she saw in a clearing in a wood. The children all drew their ideas and talked about them as a class. The story of ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’ was told to the children using props. The children talked about how all the different characters might be feeling and the children hot seated Baby Bear and Goldilocks. It was decided that Goldilocks should write a letter to say sorry, which class R helped with.

In Maths the children have been learning about money. The children have been finding the correct value of coins to pay a given amount. At home the children could be encouraged to empty piggy banks and count money or look at how much money is in different people’s wallets and purses. The children have all had five pence during Independent Learning Time to buy their snack from the snack shop.

In family time the children talked about what they found difficult this week and how we can help each other to overcome our challenges.

Thank you to all parents/carers who attended the writing meeting on Wednesday day, it was great to see you. If anyone was unable to attend and would like to discuss how to support your child towards independent writing please come and talk to us.

Have a great weekend,

Miss Zimmerman, Mrs Bowden and Mrs Roberts.
