Topic

Our topic this term is 'See it! Hear it!'

“See it, hear it” is an exciting topic where children explore the world using their eyes and ears. They will discover how light helps us see, how shadows are made, and how sounds are created all around us. Through fun activities with music, instruments, and everyday objects, children will learn to listen carefully and notice different sights and sounds. This topic encourages curiosity, creativity, and a love of exploring how the world works.

Homework: Reading folders are sent home on a Friday and need to be returned the following Wednesday so that reading books can be changed.

Wellies: Please could you send a pair of wellies into school that will stay with us for the year. We intend using the outdoor environment as much as we can!

PE days and required kit:

PE will take place on a Monday afternoon. Please could you send a P.E kit into school, with all items of clothing clearly labelled. The children will need shorts/joggers and a t-shirt in the colour of their colour group. Please ensure the children wear their trainers to school on Mondays.
