Dear Parents,
This term our topic is growing and changing. We will be looking at humans, creatures ,plants. This week we will be moving on to the Story of the `Hungry Caterpillar` by Eric Carle and continuing to grow plants and develop our outside garden area. Our beans are starting to grow and we will be looking after our plants in the sensory garden. We will be continuing to monitor the development of our caterpillars.In maths we will be looking at symmetry and an understanding of when things happen in the day.

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
