'Targeted' Stories
Every month/six weeks we base our play around a seasonal topical theme, and link lots of our play to 'targeted stories'. In the next few weeks we will be thinking about Spring and Growth , and moving on to life cycles of chicks and frogs. Our focus will be on stories about Springtime Animals- Rabbits, baby farm animals,( esp. lambs) hens and chicks, frogs and tadpoles ' Farmer Duck', Jack and the Beanstalk, 'The Ugly Duckling' Please borrow these from school and share at home with your child! Please take time to explore the Displays with your child and toddler brothers and sisters. They are allowed to touch!! We will have activity ideas for you to extend the learning at home - nothing too structured or difficult - just fun activities!
We will have guest storytellers from other Primary Schools and Mr Hullabaloo to add to our enjoyment of stories.
Please borrow copies of these books from school to share at Bedtime with your child! Sign them out and in again in the usual Class Library Files and check out what other learning can take place, based on these lovely stories- Ideas are posted beside the Whiteboard in The Reception Area.
Check out SeeSaw for the latest daily happenings and see what we get up to in school.
We will post group photos of visitors and outings from school. Children will not be individually named.
Please take care of your code- your child's unique code.
Throughout the year, we will be posting ideas relating to our current topics for you to share with your child at home. This will reinforce the learning that takes place in school.
Also please post photos of your child or family learning together. These are kept private between teachers and your family and will not be shared with others or the wider school community.
