The children enjoyed their trip to the local library.
You can discuss the curriculum with your child
The overview for our learning for the summer term is ‘Stories and Summer Sun’. This will focus around a number of quality fiction books: Handa’s Surprise, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Pig in the Pond, We’re going on a Bear Hunt, The Story Blanket and Sharing a Shell. These will help the children learn about garden life, farmlands and the seaside, and about countries and places near and far. Please spend a few minutes chatting with your child and ask them some simple questions.
Please spend a few minutes chatting with your child and ask them some simple questions such as: Where do you live? (house number and road name, town and country) What is your favourite season, and why? Where do you prefer to be, at the seaside or in the countryside? Have you visited a different country? If you could visit any country in the world, where would it be and why? What is your favourite fruit?
Please write your child’s ideas, questions and comments in the speech bubble above and return this back to the Turtle Class team. Thank you.
