The preschool will be continuing activities based on the story "The Bear Hunt", watching caterpillars turn into butterflies, and starting to learn letter sounds by singing Jolly Phonics songs. At home, parents are encouraged to go on butterfly hunts, read "The Very Hungry Caterpillar", and look up the Jolly Phonics songs on YouTube. The end of term performance will be on July 20th at 2:45pm, and parents should apply sunscreen and bring sunhats to preschool due to the summer weather.

1. Summer Term 4th
-15th
July 2016
Dear Parents,
Activities we will be doing in pre-school:
 Continuing to talk about the story of The Bear Hunt. We will also
continue with associated craft activities.
 Watching our caterpillars as they become cocoons and eventually
emerge as beautiful butterflies. If your child has already told you
that they have flown away, they are correct; this is our second
batch.
 Starting to learn our letter sounds, as we begin singing Jolly
Phonics songs.
Activities to do at home with your child:
 Go on a butterfly hunt either in the garden at the park. Count how
many you see and how many different types you see.
 Read “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” with your child and talk about
how the caterpillar changes to become a beautiful butterfly.
 Look up Jolly Phonics songs on YouTube and start singing them with
your child. The CDs and books are also available on Amazon.
Notices:
 Remember that our end of term sing-along/ performance is on
Wednesday 20th
July (last day of term) at 2.45 pm until
approximately 3.10pm
 . If your child does not usually attend preschool on a Wednesday
you may choose to swap this for one of your usual sessions. Please
speak to your keyperson to let them know. Only one adult per child
due to space restrictions, thank you.
 Don’t forget to put suncream on your child before you bring them
to preschool and to bring their sunhat.
