Summer 1 half term learning
We started the half term with a very exciting Maths Day and have had a real focus on maths over the half term.
Thank you very much for sending in the seedlings and seeds to plant. Our Nursery garden looks wonderful with the strawberries about to ripen, the tomatoes flowering and the other vegetables growing happily! The children have learnt so much about how to care for plants. The staff will pop in over the holidays to make sure they are kept watered. The bulbs you sent in the Autumn have also flowered over the term, with an array of daffodils, tulips, irises and alliums. The children have been very excited to see them pop up, grow and flower! We also opened up our new ‘Forest School’ area for the children to explore and play in nature!
‘A Mouse Called Julien’ has been by far the favourite key text we have covered so far! The children are now experts on woodland animals and were relieved when Julien survived being gobbled by the fox! The books helped us learn about friendship, which has also been our PSHE focus for the term.
Two further highlights of our term have been the Coronation celebration and learning about Jamaica in Around the World week. It was great that so many of you could join us.
