Water safety
This week, the Canal and River Trust came to visit. We talked about how to stay safe near water during the summer.
“Canals have tarmac next to them but rivers are more natural” Oliver said.
“You can ride on your bike but you must be careful near the water” Norah said.
“Go to swimming lessons or ask your Mummy to get your paddling pool” Mila said when talking about where we can safely swim in water.
“You have to go with a parent” Heidi said.
We learnt a new song about how to keep safe near rivers and canals.
“Hold hands. Two steps back. Hold hands. Two steps back. Hold hands. Two steps back. Let’s stay safe together.”
Stay Away From the Edge
Maths
This week, we have been exploring time. We have looked at analogue and digital clocks, sand timers and stop watches. The children enjoyed timing themselves to share resources in the classroom.
Help at home: What can you time yourself doing at home? What did you use to time yourself?

Music
Poetry Picnic
Each week, we learn a new poem. We recite this poem each day. By saying the poem out loud, we can focus on the sounds and rhythm of each word or line. We talk to the children about how this can help us become better readers.
This week’s poem is Dance
Check out some more learning we have achieved this week…
