Summer Term 2018
Welcome to the final term of the year. We can't believe how quickly the time has gone by.
Reading
Children in Reception will continue to be heard read every week individually and are taught reading skills in a Weekly Guided Reading session. Books will be changed weekly. It is important that you try and read with your child as much as possible during the week as this reinforces the strategies learned in school. Please send your child's book to school every day and sign their record when you have read with them as this will earn them a dojo.
Nursery and Reception children will also bring home a library book for you to read to them.
Woodland Wednesday
Children will continue to take part in these forest sessions each week, where they will carry out a range of outdoor tasks such as finding out about the seasons, den building and learning about minibeasts. Please ensure that children have appropriate clothing (waterproofs and wellies). Woodland Wednesday will will take place in the morning until half term then swap to the afternoon. Please can all Reception and Nursery children come to school in their forest clothes with Reception having uniform underneath. Nursery need to bring a change of shoes and can either wear uniform or outdoor clothes.
PE
Children will continue to take part in a weekly PE session, which will be outdoor games. Reception children need to have a PE kit in school each week (white T-shirt and shorts and pumps).
Summer Term Topic
This term our topic is Staying Alive. We will be looking at how to keep ourselves healthy and will be looking at hygiene, first aid, keeping safe out and about and on the internet, eating healthy foods, exercise as well as looking at hospitals and people who help to keep us healthy. If anyone has a health related job and would like to come in and talk to the children about ways of keeping healthy please let us know.
We will also be trialling a new approach to teaching called 'Mantle of the Expert' where children will take part in role play activities which will help stimulate ideas for their topic. Children will be participants in a scenario and will be given a commission ( a problem) which they will have to solve as part of a team. We are looking forward to sharing this experience with you.
Towards the end of this term there will be an induction day where all the Nursery children will be invited to spend the day with us and will be able to meet the other half of the Nursery children and share a school dinner. further details to follow. Reception children will also spend a day in their new classes. Further details will follow.
