Dear parents/carers,

Welcome back to the last half of the summer term! 

Hopefully, you had a lovely break and the children had chance for a good rest after the fun of sports week. 

We have plenty to look forward to over the next seven weeks including our transition activities, our Glitter Bug Ball and the Family Sports Event.  We will also be making the most of the sunshine if it should choose to appear.

As always, come and ask if you have any questions!

Mrs Cheadle, Miss Dugmore, Miss Scott-Jones, Miss Bebbington and Miss Jones

Our new theme, this last half term, is all about …

We will share fiction stories with minibeast characters.

These will include the following:

We will also explore some non-fiction books and eBooks to find out facts about minibeasts.  The children will learn about different insects and find out how they grow.  We will enjoy a fantastic finish when we celebrate the end of term with a ‘Glitter Bug Ball’ (details of this to follow separately).

As we move into summer, the children will be planting seeds and observing how the plants grow.  We will talk about what plants need to be healthy and will learn to name a few common flowers.  We will also discuss why plants are important to minibeasts.

In Maths, we will continue to learn a selection of number rhymes and songs. We will explore a selection of suggested stories (from our maths scheme ‘Master the Curriculum’).  These will include…

Our mathematical journey will continue with a focus on numbers to five.  We will find out what comes before and what comes after a given number. We will also look at the composition of these smaller numbers.

After that, we will continue with some consolidation of more than/fewer than, shape and pattern.

Remember, for more detail about learning opportunities see the pre-school weekly letter.
