Welcome back!

Wow, we have only been back in class for just over a week and already we have been up to so much! Last week we had so much fun enjoying the celebrations for the Royal Wedding. The street party was a royal success. We ate lots of yummy food and had a fantastic time! I would like to say a big thank you to all the parents for bringing in the food for our buffet!

This week we have started our new topic 'The Garden Centre'. The children have been busy preparing for the opening of 'Sedgeberrow Garden Centre' by making beautiful flowers to sell at the garden centre. We are pleased to inform you that our garden centre is now open and we sell a wide range of plants, tools and garden accessories. The children have also begun planting a range of flowers and vegetables. Take a look below at the photos of our garden centre.

This week in Literacy we learnt the story of 'Jack and The Beanstalk' and have used actions to help us retell the story. The children have also been designing their own magic beans and have thought of some imaginative ideas for what their beans would grow into.

In Numeracy lessons the children have been involved in practical activities weighing and comparing the weight of different objects in the class. They have been using language such as 'heavier' and 'lighter' when comparing the weight of the objects.

On Monday it will be Reception class' first swimming lesson, so please remember to pack swimming costume/trunks, towel and goggles for your child to take with them.

I would also like to take this opportunity to remind you to encourage your child to practise their sounds, high frequency and tricky words with you on a regular basis.

Have a lovely weekend,

Miss Houlihan x
