This week at Gray's Farm
NURSERY
This week we shall be starting our new topic around the story of The Bad Tempered Lady Bird.
We will be talking about why the lady bird felt that way? Is that kind to others to be like that? What can we do to help and be kind to each other? We shall be exploring our investigation area to find mini beasts and look at their habitat.
The children will be counting and ordering numbers on the lady bird.
A reminder that that the nursery Sports day is on Thursday 5th July. Letter to follow.
Once again that you for your continual support and please add to tapestry, we love to share them in class.
RECEPTION
This week in Reception we continue with Fairy tales, Goldilocks and the Three Bears. We will be writing the story in our own words. During our maths sessions we will continue problem solving, measuring and comparing by size. We hope to experiment with dry and wet oats and make and taste porridge. Please keep checking in on Tapestry!
