This week we will be focusing on Christmas and will be spending some time practising for our Christmas Nativity play. The children have all been given a part in the play and will all dress up in a costume to take part. We have all of the costumes in school so please do not worry about buying or making anything. All we ask is that you help your child to learn any lines that we send home. The children will perform their nativity on Thursday 12th December at 2.15 and Friday 13th December at 9.15. You should have received all the information on how to get tickets. If you have any questions about tickets then please speak to the office staff.
The children are progressing well in their Phonics groups and staff are continually assessing the children’s knowledge to make sure they are in the correct group. Continue to do the reading activities in your child’s reading diary. Soon we will be sending out log in details for those children on reading books to access additional activities online to support your child’s reading. As the texts become more difficult, your child will bring home a book bag book to read and they will be asked to go online to read the book that they have looked at that week in school as well as a quiz. The extra practice at home will help your child to develop confidence and fluency in their reading.
The children all had a lovely day at Ash End Children’s Farm. They enjoyed seeing lots of different animals and had a great time feeding the goats and sheep. The children were involved in a variety of different activities throughout the day but I’m sure they will all agree the highlight was our visit to see Father Christmas. The children were very well behaved and we had a lot of tired eyes on our Journey home. We hope your child was eager to tell you all about it!
