Week beginning 7th February.

  Hello everyone.
We  seem to have come to the end of a week of lots of bugs and children off school. Hopefully everyone will be back fit and ready for a new week, although lots of the children are very tired as they approach the end of their first half term in school.
Last week we did last of learning about Fairtrade and I was impressed by the things that children had remembered from Pre-school. Look on our fairtrade display to see some impressive answers to questions about Fairtrade. The children were using  white hat thinking( facts and information gathering) to answer some of the questions.
This week and into next week our learning is through a topic on Chinese New Year. If you have any dressing up clothes or spare chopsticks pots spoons  etc, we would appreciate them and will return them when we are finished. Thank you. I hope we will be making some chinese food to!
If you are able to come in and support children reading individually I would be very grateful. Also supporting small groups to practise letter writing skills would be good.Otherwise just a few minutes in the morning sharpening pencils is so useful.Thank you.
Finally, please keep up reading with your children, taking individual stripy books form the library.It would help us if you could record what you are reading in the green reading records. Thank you. Don't forget to return group reading books, this is so important for the next child getting the books. It might be your child who does not get a book because they have not been returned.
