Money!

Thank you for sending in 1p and 2p coins for the children to use in their role play.  The children have been very busy spending!

Maths this week and request for 1p and 2p coins

This week we have concentrated on numbers.  The children have practised counting to 10, 20 and even higher!

We have ordered numbers, said which numbers are bigger or smaller, estimated how many objects then carefully counted.

The class has shown an interest in setting up a Cafe this week, so next week we will be concentrating on money – role play shop / cafe / burger van / ice cream parlour.

We would be grateful if you have any spare 1p and 2p coins if you could donate them to the class to give the role play a more authentic experience for the children.

Also if you have any old pots/ pans / trays / bowls / cutlery etc, we would love them for our role play areas.

Class 1 and 2 Nativity

A king is born 

The children and staff are very excited that it is that time of year again for the Christmas production!

A letter has been sent home with the part your child will be playing in the production and details of any items of clothing they might need to bring in from home.

We have some costumes in school for the children to use, but would appreciate any that can be provided from home.

If you have any difficulty getting hold of any of this, please don’t hesitate to let us know.  Please bring your child’s costume from home in a named carrier bag no later than Monday 4th of  December.

If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to come and ask us.
