Dear Parents,
As we come towards the end of another half term we will be concluding our topic on growing and changing. This week we will be focusing on how we grow and change with our special focus book on Titch. Thank you for all the baby photos you have sent in if you haven`t already done so could you please send your child`s baby photos in this week. The children do so love to show them. Our beans are starting to grow ,we will be measuring them and talking about how they have changed this week. We will also be looking after our plants in the sensory garden. We will be continuing to monitor the development of our caterpillars which have now cocooned. In maths we will be looking at measuring using language such as taller and shorter.

Learning Challenge
Each half term we will be setting our pupils a challenge related to their learning. We believe that it is important for us to provide guidance for parents on how their children's learning can be extended at home.
The learning challenge will include either a nursery rhyme, famous person, illustration or a piece of music. Please talk to your child about the challenge and help them to engage in their learning. The children can choose how they present their learning challenge outcomes to their teacher or class.
Person: Mr Bloom
Piece of Art: Eric Carle - illustrator
Piece of music
