Hi Parents/Carers,
Welcome back to the new Spring Term. We hope you all had a lovely Christmas. Just a few words about what our topic will be for the first part of the term. We are talking about the Weather, and showing the children where we live on our globe At the moment we are showing them how the earth spins around giving different parts of the world, different weather and why it is dark in the winter and longer daylight hours in the spring and summer We will be talking about the clouds and cloud formation, and showing them where rain comes from via reference books and the internet This will all cover why some animals hibernate in the winter, so lots of opportunities for some lovely creative work and conversations.
As always, there is much more going on as well. We will continue on a daily basis learning our numbers and letters and we have now moved on to understanding the first sounds they hear in words, plus name writing or mark making for the younger ones
On a daily basis, we continue to talk to the children about healthy eating, the benefit of good sleep and teeth cleaning as well as incorporating exercise into our day. We have been practising balancing and the children love standing on one leg and showing how they can be stable with no wobbling now! A few times a week, we also do Cosmic Yoga, and again have watched how the children have all improved in that as well
We do so much more than this….. lots of imaginative play in the Role Play area, lots of singing and dancing and lots of reading stories and listening to your lovely children and having great one to one conversations with them all.
Half Term is 16th – 20th February and we break up on 27th March.
Love from Nicki, Ange, Jo and Olga x
