Home Link – Healthy eating
This week we are going to talk about the different foods that the Very Hungry Caterpillar ate.
– Which foods are healthy?
– Which have lots of sugar in?
We’d love children to be able to try some more unusual fruits, especially ones that we don’t get for snack time in Nursery. If you are able to, please bring in a different fruit for us to taste. For example: plums, kiwi, mango, berries etc..
If you don’t want your child to take part, please speak to Nursery staff.
This week’s letter is ‘f’ for food. What can you find at home that begins with ‘f’? Children love to add their items to our sound shelf, so please feel free to bring them in to Nursery.
Junior Warrior
Year 6 had a fantastic time getting muddy at Junior Warrior. They helped each other over all the obstacles and we only lost one pair of trainers to the mud swamp.
Living and Learning: I can share and include others.
This week, we’ve focused on sharing and including others. Year 5/6 do this daily. They’re really good at sharing, as you’d expect! Here are some examples from today.
Livy sharing her problem solving knowledge.
Millie sharing her strategy.
Reece, project managing the children while they build the friendship benches. Sharing his knowledge and practical skills.
Sensational Sobek!
Friday 22 June 2018
Egyptian Gods and Goddesses.
In Year 3/4 reading this week, one task was to read a description of the god, Sobek, find facts from the text and draw a picture of what he looked like.
They had lots of fun comparing their work with the real thing.
Here are some children’s work, which show detail and careful retrieval of facts. The actual picture was similar to the children’s drawings. They were really surprised how accurate their pictures were.
Moving and shaking – cancelled
Unfortunately, the moving and shaking stay and play on 5th/9th July will be cancelled. This is due to unforeseen circumstances with staffing – we just can’t move and shake as planned! However, we look forward to seeing you at the whole school sports roundabout on Monday 2nd July at 1.10pm.
Well done, Charlotte!
It’s great to see this by Leeds Civic Hall – great design, Charlotte!
(Bit of a shame about the dodgy grammar and spelling…)

Home Link – week beginning 18th June
We’re going to read ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ this week. The caterpillars in nursery were beginning to make cocoons at the end of last week, so we’re hoping to see some butterflies emerging soon.
Here are few ideas of things that you might like to do at home to support your child’s learning:
- Read ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ and talk about the story. What are your favourite types of fruit? Discuss the days of the week. What day is next?
- Paint a picture of a butterfly or make a butterfly print. Talk about the symmetrical pattern on the wings.
- This week we are learning about the letter sound ‘Bb’. What can you find around your house or outside that begins with ‘b’? You could bring it into nursery for our sound shelf.
