What a fabulous week Meadows have had! We are super proud of you all!
Thank you to all the grown ups for encouraging your children to be super independent with coats and bags at the beginning of each session, it is truly wonderful to hear your children say, ‘ I can do it myself thank you!’ The new end of day routine is working well and is a lot calmer, so thank you for collecting your child at the door.
Topic This term- The Show must Go On!
This week has definitely been a musical one! We have thoroughly enjoyed sharing the story of ‘The Tiger In A Tutu’ By F. Santiago and based this on our school values of being courageous in our learning, never giving up -‘I can’t do it yet’, making our dreams come true by persevering and showing each other how to be a compassionate citizen. We also enjoyed dressing up in tutu’s and doing some ballet dancing whilst listening to ‘Swan Lake’.
We have enjoyed going on an adventure around our school to look for print in our environment, we even took photos on our IPads so that we could share them on our interactive white board and read them aloud together. We recognised many letter shapes that are in our names!
Ways to support at home.
Can you find and read any other stories about performing, singing and dance? We would love to hear your recommendations!
Look out for print and numerals in your environment whilst you are ‘out and about’.
