Week Beginning: 29 March 2021
NURSERY
As this is the last few days before Easter, we thought it would be fun to take part in Easter activities.
We will be talking about Easter and new life, in particular observing the life cycle of our frogspawn we found at Forest School. Children will have the opportunity to take part in egg and spoon races, learning about positional language, first, second, third.
On Tuesday, the afternoon children will take part in an Easter Egg Hunt around the garden and the morning children will have their Easter Egg Hunt on the Wednesday morning.
RECEPTION
Next week in Reception we will be having an Easter themed week. We will be making Easter cards and designing our own eggs whilst also learning to Easter story in our RE lessons.
YEAR 1
In English we will be writing about the topics we have been learning about this term, applying all of the skills we have learned.
In Maths we will be learning about 3D shapes. We will also be practising quarter, half, three quarter and whole turns - both clockwise and anti-clockwise.
Don't forget you will be collecting your children at 1.15 on Wednesday so that you can start your holidays sooner!
It has been a long term but we made it. A big thanks to you all for your support as always.
Have a safe and restful Easter break.
From the Year 1 Team.
