Robins
Term 6 week beginning 15.6.26
A quick round-up of what we've covered so far:
Reception have been looking at the book Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers in Drawing Club / continuous provision. They have enjoyed lots of exciting activities ranging from freeing some penguins trapped in ice, learning about penguin habitats, creating penguin pictures and having fun in our 'Lost and Found Office' role play area.
Year 1 and 2 have been doing some excellent writing based on the book, The Great Green Island by Becky Colvin.
The children enjoyed Eco Week at the end of last half term. We now have a food waste bin in class to help us be more eco-friendly.
Our beloved 'Everywhere Bear' continues to have lots of great adventures with the children when they take him home. We'll ensure all children get a turn before the end of term.
Our learning this fortnight in Robins Class:
Reception will be starting a well loved classic in Drawing Club, The Very Hungry Caterpillar. The children will soon receive their own caterpillar eggs in class to look after and hopefully by the end of term we'll have some beautiful butterflies to release!
Year 1 and 2 will be drawing and writing about their own animal islands to conlude their work on The Great Green Island story. Next, we move onto our final book of the year, Lights on Cotton Rock by David Litchfield.
