Wonderful shared reading.

On Thursday the year 6 children came down to the Foundation Stage and read with the children. Some had brought in their favourite books from home and others chose books from the love of reading boxes.

It was a truly heart warming sight to observe. The Year 6 children demonstrated their super reading ability and the FS children enjoyed listening to their expression and story telling talents.

This is an experience we would love to continue through the year and by the end we are sure it will be the Foubdation Stage children who are reading enthusiastically to the Year 6 children. image image image image

Percy the park keeper day

Next term we will be enjoying reading about Percy the park keeper and all his friends. They have lots of adventures and we will be acting them out and helping Percy to solve lots of problems.

We will be having a Percy the park keeper week (dates to be confirmed) and we would like to invite parents in to join in the fun.

We would like a few parents to dress up as Percy or one of his friends and read one of his stories to small groups of children. ‘Percy’ will be situated in his shed at the play houses. It will be a lovely surprise for the children after an Autumn walk and a picnic will follow. Please let us know if you are interested in being a ‘Percy’.

Happy holiday

Firstly we would like to say say a huge well done to all our amazing Foundation Stage children for a wonderful first term at our school. They are definitely part of our Team All Saints.

Enjoy your family time and we very much look forward to continuing your learning journey with us on your return.

During your week at home you could continue to practise your learning;

– how fast can you get dressed?

-can you write your name, forming your letters correctly?

-can you order and write your numbers to 10, forming them correctly?

-can you continue your rhyming strings? What rhymes with dog or leg or mat?

– can you draw your favourite part of your holiday , you could even label it or write about it.

-enjoy your ‘see, think, wonder’ exploration of books.

 

Have fun!

Bance

Today we were lucky enough to have the North Kesteven BTEC students in school. Firstly we watched the Year  5s perform their composition on the outdoor instruments.

Then we went into the hall and watched a celebration of dance, music and singing. We had such fun joining in the clapping and with the dance moves.

 

If if we want them to come again next year we need to email their headmaster and tell them how much we enjoyed it. image image image image image

Autumn treasure hunting

Whilst you are out and about at the weekend you could speak to your child about what they see around them such as the leaves changing colour and the weather. If you can collect Autumnal objects such as conkers and acorns and leaves to bring into school that would be great.  We will be beginning to make Autumn pictures. Please do not send in any berries.

If you would like to collect a selection of coloured leaves it would be lovely to dry these between newspaper so we can paint the flat, dry leaves, in school and make them into animals and creatures another week ….
