We will look at the role of the fire fighters and how they help to keep safe. Children will be practicing fire evacuations during our sessions. Please check out the board outside the nursery for updates.

RECEPTION

In Reception this week the children are going to be sharing the Easter story and thinking about its significance to lots of people around the world. They are going to be comparing different versions of the story and writing or labelling what they know about it. We will also be starting our preparations for Easter - yes another excuse to get that glitter out again....!  In Maths, we will be revising 2D shape names and learning the names of some common 3D shapes by building models with them..

In English, we are going to continue looking at our class book called ‘The Lonely Beast’. We will talk about what makes a good friend and what we like doing with our friends. 

Towards the end of the week, we will write an advert using main clauses, noun phrases and conjunctions to find a friend to the Lonely Beast, so he is not alone anymore.

In Maths, we will be reading and drawing times to o'clock and half past. We will also be learning about money - we will be recognising coins and making amounts.

This week in Year 3, we will be looking at fractions and working out how we can add fractions with the same denominator. In English we will be reminding ourselves how to use inverted commas when including direct speech within our writing. And let's not forget, we have our wonderful WOW day on Tuesday! Please remember to send your children in wearing old clothes that they can get muddy in with a spare outfit in their bag in case they need to change! If you have any trowels, gardening gloves, etc we would also greatly appreciate it!
