Week Beginning 5th May

Date: 30th Apr 2025 @ 3:14pm

What a great first week we have had, learning about our new topic - water. 

Next week, we are reading the story - You can Swim Jim. Reception children had a great first week at the swimming pool and we will continue this until the end of term. 

During our English time, we will be talking about and writing about what we need to have to be able to go swimming. We are also thinking about rhyming words related to our story and making up our own rhymes. In phonics, Reception will be rehearsing the sounds that we have learned and using and applying them in their reading and writing. 

During maths, Nursery will be learning the song 5 little ducks and using this to focus on counting and adding and taking away. Reception are learning about ways to make 5. 

In Science, we are learning about the word waterproof and in particular thinking about materials that are waterproof. 

On Thursday, the whole school will be celebrating VE Day as the country celebrates 80 years since VE Day. We will be taking part in a range of activities and learning a new song too.

Have a lovely Bank Holiday Weekend.
