Night and Day

For the last couple of weeks we have been learning about day and night and continuing with our space theme.

This week the children have been learning about the sun and why we have day and night. We also had fun playing with our shadows. The children were able to explain what made a shadow. Georgia explained 'The sun made a shadow.' George B. explained that the tree was making a shadow 'because it is blocking the light.'

This week we have been learning how to use the outdoor woodwork area safely. We have used the hammers to bang in nails. This has helped with our fine motor skills.

We were really pleased to see how well the children danced for the May King and Queen celebrations. After weeks of practising 'In and Out the Dusty Bluebells' the children performed brilliantly, remembering their steps and dancing with rhythm.

We hope you have a relaxing half term holiday.

Please remember we return to school on Tuesday 7th June as Monday is an INSET day. We are looking forward to our trip to Stockwood Park and Discovery Centre on Friday 10th June, where we will be exploring nature. We will also be looking at plant growth and planting our own seeds.

In Letters and Sounds the sound of the week will be 'v'.
