Snow Day 10.03.23
You have three jobs from us ...
1. We've been reading the Three Little Pigs. Go outside and make a snow pig or wolf. Don't forget to send us a photo!
2. This week we have been learning to show numbers on our fingers. Watch the video of 'Five Little Men in a Flying Saucer'. Can you show the numbers on your fingers for each part of the song?
3. We have been learning to draw circles. Can you draw a picture of the three little pigs using some circles for our display?
Have a lovely day, we can't wait to see what you have been up to!
Tapestry
In Foundation Stage we use an online program called 'Tapestry' to share your child's learning journey with you. Tapestry allows you to log in and see what your child has been learning in school and gives you the opportunity to share experiences at home with us. This is a secure site which allows only you to view your child's learning journey and gives you an insight to the learning opportunities they access whilst with us in Foundation.
If you have any questions about Tapestry please come to see Miss Hoggard.
Brushing Buddies
Our F1 children take part in Brushing Buddies, a supervised brushing programme run by our trained F1 staff. Our children love to tickle their teeth!
If you have any questions about the programme please come to see Miss Hoggard.
Please see the links below for support on brushing teeth at home. Remember, brushing teeth with fluoride toothpaste twice a day is the most effective way to prevent tooth decay.
Reading
Your child will be sent home with a lilac reading book to read themselves and a sharing book for you to read to your child. Please send your child to school with their reading folder every Thursday so we can change their book.
