Dear Parents / Carers
Please find below this week’s Weekly Update!
Letter of the Week – Our chosen letter for our next session is ‘j’! Please can your child bring in an item which has a ‘j’!
Makaton – This is a language using signs and symbols; we are going to learn ‘drink’:
Playhouse Activities This Week – This week we have baked scones. We’ve made some salt dough currant buns to link in with our nursery rhymes. We’ve done lots of nursery rhyme singing. We’ve also been sewing, shape activities and name recognition.
Playhouse Activities Next Session – After half term we will be looking at Spring. We’ll be doping role play each week and will be starting off with a ‘shop’. We’ll be making shopping list and we’ll have a walk to the shop. We will be doing some woodwork.
Packed Lunches & the Dangers of Grapes – Please can you take a few minutes to check out the following items concerning the dangers of grapes. This is a very real choking hazard for children. After half term please make sure that if your child has grapes in their packed lunch the grapes are cut in half. If whole grapes are given, these will be removed from your child’s lunch and will be returned to their packed lunch box after your child has finished eating. We really appreciate your help with this. Thank you.
