Using our senses.

Date: 11th Oct 2024 @ 1:54pm

This week the kangaroos have had fun using their senss to explore. They went on a sensory walk around the inside and outside of our school, they made scented and prickly play dough, listened to a sounds story, used their senses on our class herbs and also explored our feely boxes and scented pots. They used their super power listening ears in the library when Helen read stories to the children and followed her instructions on hot to make a giant peach.

The librarian from Longton library has invited us back for a Christmas story and craft session later in the year. She was very impressed at how all the children listened and behaved in the library.

Thank you for your amazing support with reading and phonics. It is a delight to see the kangaroos feeling so proud of themselves when they sound and blend the new words I give them in phonics each day. Mrs. Morrison and I really do appreciate the daily reading that you are doing at home as the children are beaming with confidence in phonics each morning. I hope you spot their excitement at seeing a new sound each morning on the washing line!

Don't forget that you are more than welcome to call into our 'Bookworm Bistro' after school on a Wednesday if you have any reading or phonics questions! 

Next week I would be very grateful if you could send one baby photograph into school with your child. We will be sharing our memories, looking at how we have chnaged and talking about our amazing bodies.
