The Heatherlands Way

 

PE days: Monday (outdoor) & Friday (indoor) - Children to come into school dressed in PE kits.

As half-term draws near, the children have shown growing independence and resilience, especially as they are becoming tired. 

 

Phonics Thursdays have continued to be well supported by our parents and the children have now been taught all the Phase 2 single sounds. It has been a pleasure to see them practising their segmenting skills when writing in their Child Initiated Learning, in particular when making a list of what Goldilocks would need to make her own porridge, rather than eating the bears' breakfast! 

 

The children have been keen to share their Once Upon a Time home learning projects which are proudly displayed in our classrooms and all the baked gingerbread goods are making our tummies rumble.

 

Next half term we will be exploring space in our theme 'Star Gazers'... 

 

This morning our Early Years children followed the clues and finally caught the Gingerbread Man! In fact, we caught 90 of them at Greggs Bakery on Ashley Road. Once back at school the tasty treats were quickly devoured. A big thank you to Greggs Bakery for helping us catch the Gingerbread Men and to the parents and carers who helped us walk there and back.

A big thank you to United Taxis who kindly donated 90 water bottles, one for every child in Early Years, which we have sent home today.

The EYFS children had quite a surprise when they arrived in school after the weekend. Some cheeky Gingerbread characters had come to life and created chaos in the base. The children had lots of ideas about how to catch them and were keen to start our new topic 'Once Upon A Time'.

The EYFS children have settled well into school life and have quickly become familiar with their classroom environment. Funky Fingers is proving to be a big hit with the children. After lunch the children take part in a variety of fine and gross motor activities. These include spiders in jelly, Zumba, threading on skewers, collecting pompoms with tweezers and dough disco.
