Reminders
- PE - The children have PE every Thursday morning. Please ensure that girls are not wearing tights, and that if possible the children are wearing jogging bottoms or dark coloured leggings.
- Library - We visit the school library every Friday Morning. Please ensure that library books are returned so that your child may take out a different book each week.
- Clothing and accessories - please make sure that all of your child's belongings are clearly labelled, so that they can quickly be identified if misplaced.
- Please encourage your child to get dressed and put on their shoes and coats independently. We will also support this at school.
Under the Sea
What we are learning about...
This term we are going to be looking at ‘Under the Sea.’ Our literacy focus for this half term will be; ‘The Rainbow Fish,' ‘Commotion in the Ocean’ and 'Jolly Olly octopus'. These stories offer a great introduction, not only to our theme but also the first stage of phonics learning rhyming words and repetitive phrases. The children will have the opportunity to explore our Seaside Café. In Maths we will be encouraging the children to recgonise numbers and start counting using fingers, aswell as identifying amounts of objects.
