Year 1 'at home' sheet 6th-17th Oct 2014

1. Autumn Term weeks 5-6, 6th-17th Oct.
Dear Parents,
The children are continuing to settle into pre-school now and are beginning to form relationships with each other. I hope they are also chatting to you about what they have been getting up to. However some children don’t do this (and this is also very normal) so if you have any questions you would like to ask please don’t hesitate to ask your key person.
Activities we will be doing in pre-school:
 Singing our rhyme of the week which is ‘Twinkle twinkle, little star’. We encourage the children to do actions as they sing. This develops finger strength, necessary for developing pencil control.
 Enjoying ‘party role play’ in our home corner. Most children have been to a party so this provides a good talking point as we encourage children to recall their own experiences.
Activities to do at home with your child:
 Go for a walk in the park and look at/talk about the changes happening to the trees as Autumn develops. Bring in any interesting items you find so that we can put them on our nature table.
 Keep singing rhymes with your child every day, they are a great way of increasing vocabulary.
Notices:
 Please make sure that your children’s clothing is named, particularly jumpers, cardigans and coats.
 Remember that you are invited to our Harvest Festival on Sunday 19th October.
