Dear Parents/ Carers,
Over the last two weeks the children have been learning about Easter. Last week as a class we talked about what Palm Sunday means to Christians and how it is celebrated. This week the children listened to the Easter story and shared their ideas and thoughts about it.
The children have been learning about positional language this week to talk about where objects or people are such as next to, on top of, under, in, in between. The children did various hunts for objects including hunting bears they had to then say where they had found their bear, after practising the children hunted for Easter treats.
During independent learning time the children have been practising using money to buy their snack. All items at the shop are cost at 5 pence or less. The children have been taking money from the class purse and spending the money at the shop. The children are also becoming great at being shop keepers and thinking about the change needed. You could help at home by giving them some small coins to count to find ‘How much’ they have altogether.
The children made Easter nests this week, as a class we wrote instructions of how to make the nests and then followed them. The children took turns at mixing and all made one Easter nest which they took home to enjoy. If you ask your children they might remember how to make them, they could write you some instructions so you could make them at home.
Have a fabulous Easter, remember to keep reading daily, little and often is the best way to enable your children to practise their skills. Play games with flashcards and have a good rest!
Well done Class R for all your great learning this term.
Happy Easter,
Miss Zimmerman, Mrs Bowden and Mrs Roberts.
