How lovely it is to see the sunshine this week! Please remember to apply a once a day sun cream to your child before they come to school and send your child in with a named hat and water bottle.

This week we will be continuing to learn about the life cycle of our caterpillars through observations, drama, and sequencing events.

This week we will be harvesting our potatoes. The children are very excited about our ripening ‘crop’ of 6 strawberries that we have been looking after and nurturing! To add to our harvest a voluntary contribution of £1 would be greatly appreciated so we can purchase additional fruit to make some caterpillar repeating pattern fruit kebabs for the children to make and eat please!

In phonics, the children will be practicing reading and spelling the high-frequency and tricky keywords. Please continue to keep practicing these at home as it really helps the children to progress quickly and confidently. They will be using their arms and fingers to help practice writing and spelling words. In sentence writing, we are focusing on remembering a capital letter at the beginning of a sentence, finger spaces between words, and a full stop at the end of the sentence.

In maths we will be doubling numbers, sharing odd and even numbers of objects and using our fingers to help us with our number bonds.

Reception class will be going on a trip on Tuesday 16th July. We will be going to Nettlecombe Farm for the day. If you are able to help out on the day please let us know. Thank you!
