Friday 7th June is our final Parent-Toddler session of the year. Please come along between 8.30 and 10am if you are available. 

 Student Led Conferences will take place on the morning of Friday 14th June. If you would like an optional Parent Teacher Conference, times are available on the afternoon of Friday 14th June. Please see me to make an appointment. 

Maths

This week our big focus has been on recognising numbers 1-5 and matching the amount to the numeral.








Phonics

This week we have focused on retelling the stories of The Very Hungry Caterpillar and The Gruffalo's Child. We have also been mark-making in paint bags.

 Please take the time to let your child practise singing and dancing to our song, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, at home before the end of year performance. Please send your child's costume to school next week ready for whole school dress rehearsals.
