NURSERY

We will be continuing our week  recognising and ordering numbers  and how this relates to our theme of Peters Pebbles. -Please can you also help your child at home.

For P4C (Philosophy for children ) we shall talk about,  if we were a pebble what would we be and why? This enables children to use their imaginations and builds confident talkers.

During our Cookery club the children will be making animal biscuits. There is a small green pig money box situated on the table in the garden for donation towards the ingredients.

Thank you again for all your support.

RECEPTION

In our last week this half term, we are studying Julia Donaldson's Sharing a Shell. We will be discussing why we share and what happens if we don't.

Why not read as many different ones as you can together over the half term break.
