Term: Spring 1 Date: 22.01.2018
Dear Parent/Carer,
We have just received the wonderful news that Mrs
Shoulders gave birth to a lovely little baby boy named Thomas this morning. He
weighed 6lb and was born at 7.48 a.m. On behalf of everybody at Mead we would
like to send our warmest congratulations.
The children have really enjoyed their themed work
based on the three little pigs. This week we will be moving onto the story of
`Goldilocks and the three bears `which will include children making porridge and deciding which
toppings to put on. We will also be singing the song of `when `Goldilocks went
to the house of the bears.`
These are the skills we will be focusing on this week:
Mathematics
The children are continuing to develop the skills to
count accurately. We will be practising our counting and looking at sizes of
things.
Cooking
The children will be helping to make porridge and
stirring the milk into the oats.
Physical
The children will have their weekly P.E lesson and
plenty of opportunity to develop their gross motor skills in the outside area.
Literacy
The children will be able to practise their mark
making in porridge oats. At this stage mark making is a physical activity and
this allows them to develop elbow and wrist control.
Workshop
The children will continue to have access to collage
materials so they can create their own pictures. We will add junk materials for
them to explore texture.
Communication
and Language
Encouraging children to use simple sentences
correctly.
Encouraging children to hold a conversation and
respond to comments.
Personal and
Social Development
Ensuring children are able to cooperate with routines
and some boundaries.
Modelling the correct behaviours in play, ensuring
children use resources well and begin to share with other children.
Messages
Please
ensure your child has a coat in school every day as we do use the outside area
in all weather conditions.
