Dear Parents / Carers
Please find below this week’s Weekly Update!
Letter of the Week – Our chosen letter for our next session will be ‘u’. Please can your child bring in an item which has a ‘u’!
Playhouse Activities This Week – This week we’ve continued with hibernation and we’ve looked at hedgehogs, what they like to eat and why they curl into a ball! We’ve had lots of fun re-creating ‘We’re going on a Bear Hunt’ with sounds and a paw hunt. We carried out our shapes hunt in the garden and we looked at what shapes are in our environment. We’ve also been busy painting caves and being pirates!
Playhouse Activities Next Sessions – We will continue with our hibernation theme. We will plant bulbs in the garden and will look at their growth over time. One of our Playhouse mum’s, Alexa, is a Dental Nurse and she will be coming in on Tuesday at 2.45pm to talk about our teeth and keeping them health. If you child is not normally in on a Tuesday afternoon but you would like to join us, please talk to a member of the team. We will also make pizza’s and we’ll have a walk in the village to look at more environmental shapes. Another very busy week!
