Year 1 At Home sheet 26th June-7th July.

1. Summer Term 26th
June-7th
July.
Dear Parents,
Activities we will be doing in Preschool:
 Looking at our butterflies and releasing them into the garden. We will
also be watching a new batch grow as the previous ones got a bit
overshadowed by the chicks!
 Singing our rhyme of the week/term, ‘There’s a tiny caterpillar on a
leaf’ (sung to the tune of ‘She’ll be coming round the mountain…’
 Having obstacle courses in PE and outside, encouraging the children to
move in different ways e.g. balancing, crawling.
Activities to do at home with your child:
 Look in the garden or park for butterflies. Ask your child if they can
remember how the butterflies changed from caterpillars.
 Encourage your child to make marks in a variety of ways. If it is dry
outside get the water and paintbrushes out, let them chalk on the
patio, or maybe let them paint (on paper!) outside.
Notices:
 On Friday 21st
July (last day of term) we will be having a sing-along
followed by a short ‘stay and play’. For morning children this will be at
11.15am. For afternoon children this will be 2.45-3.30pm. The session
for the children begins at the normal time; parents (one only per
child) are invited to join us at the later time. If your child does not
usually attend on a Friday you are invited to swap this for one of their
other sessions during that week. Please ask if you are unsure about
these arrangements.
 Please check www.childcarechoices.gov.uk for information about
applying for 30 hours funding. It is time to act and get ready for
September if you will be using this entitlement.
