Good Morning

This week we will be doing lots of fun things to help us learn, here are some of the things we will be doing this week-

• Sound of the week

• We have a new author of the month for March- Lynley Dodd

Lynley Dodd writes the Hairy MacLary books and they have lots of rhyme so we thought this would be a good author to do after Julia Donaldson because we were great at rhyming.

Below is a link to the first story we will be looking at-

Hairy MacLary from Donaldson’s dairy. Below is a link to an animation of the story-

• Emotions

We are still thinking about our emotions and sharing how we feel with one another. It is good to talk about how we feel, it makes us feel better if we are down.

We have been using emotional check in sheets which the children have been using to record how they feel and discuss this with their keyworker.

• Colour and Shape

We will also be looking at shape and colour this month. As we enter Spring there are lots of new colours and shapes are the plants begin to grow and the weather changes.

• Transitions

During this month we will be planning for transitions and we will be speaking to the children about going to school. We will be thinking about skills for school and building relationships with our peers who will be joining us at school. We will also be looking at skills for school and encouraging the children to take part in a number of learning experiences which will further develop knowledge, understanding and skills which will set them in good stead for transitioning to school.

Today’s story is one of my favourite and an important one to remember. Everyone is feeling different things in lockdown but if we all remember to be kind then we will always make people feel better no matter how they feel.

Kind

 Use a spoon as a measuring device. Go around your home and see if things are the same size, shorter or longer than the spoon. Do you think you could put the items that you find in order by size, starting with the smallest?
