Hello! Only 3 more school days to go until your little ones move on to Year 1! Despite our extremely disrupted year the children have all made good progress in different areas and so much of it is down to all the time, effort and hard work you put in, especially while we were home schooling.
The children are ready to move on, they met Miss Leutchford this week and had a lovely afternoon getting to know here and her them. I will hand them over with copious notes about each child – including all their little foibles !
This week we have continued working on capacity:
Space …
Always lots and lots of reading …
We have made some beautiful moons and learnt how a spacecraft lands on the moon along with what the surface of the moon is like.
We’ve used our moon rocks from last week to establish the ‘ moon rock’ capacity of various containers…
Sequenced some stories ..
Used our tweezers and fine motor skills to rescue some stars.
A good read is Oliver Jeffers ‘ How to Catch a Star’
Counted/ sorted /added / balanced the chairs..
Carried on out stories with our rocket ship …
Our small world moon surface proved a popular activity …
Some children made their own shop..
We did sooo much writing!
And finally enjoyed a lovely sunny sports day!
For those of you heading off on holiday this weekend, thank you for a fabulous year, especially for all your support – Mrs Mooney and are are very grateful and have really enjoyed looking after your lovely children. Please, please read to your children over the holidays and ask them to read a little bit to you each day. Play lots of board games – snakes and ladders and Uno are fantastic for so many skills the children need and lastly please get your child to write something like a shopping list, a note or a postcard once a week. Five weeks is too long with no writing, reading and number practise and it will help them so much if you start Year 1 having done these things over the summer.
Have super summer holidays! I look forward to giving the children a wave when they are in Year 1.
Thanks
Erin XX
