Newsletter 09/23/2011 Dear parents, The topic for Term 1 is ‘All About Me’, and children are learning about their bodies, healthy food choices, senses, feelings, families and people in their community. Parents often ask how they can support children’s learning at home, so here are a couple of fun activities you might like to try: • Make a ‘funny face’ pizza – a great way to practise naming the parts of the face and feelings, build food vocabulary and explore tastes and smells! • Make a ‘family hand/footprint’ painting! Just a little bit of paint and paper will help you create a family masterpiece that will help your child to name parts of the body, explore their sense of touch and compare sizes, shapes and colours! Please feel free to ask your child’s teacher for more activity ideas that are specific to their age and class. Have a lovely weekend! Vážení rodiče, Tematem 1.akademického cyklu je ‘Všechno o mě’. Děti se učí o svém těle, zdravé výživě, smyslech, pocitech, o rodině a lidech v našem okolí. Rodiče se nás často ptají, jak navázat na výuku v domácím prostředí. Zde je pro Vás několik tipů: • Upečte pizzu s legračním obličejem – skvělý způsob jak si procvičit slovní zásobu pro části obličeje, nálady a zkoumat společně chuti a vůně! • Vyrobte si rodinný otisk ruky nebo nohy! Stačí trocha barvy a papír a vytvoříte mistrovské dílo, které pomůže Vašemu dítěti pojmenovat části těla, zkoumat pocity z doteku, porovnávat tvary, velikosti a barvy! Poraďte se se svým učitelem a získejte další tipy na aktivity vhodné pro věk Vašeho dítěte. Přeji Vám krásný víkend! Victoria Smith Head of School Stars of the Weeks Pinkies Eliška V.

We have been taking advantage of this by playing in the garden every day, and going over to the sports field to enjoy P.E.! We really like working in teams and using musical instruments to move to different beats and at different speeds.

The class have been practising lots of skills, from cutting and sticking, travelling safely and singing songs, to being kind to our friends, working together and looking after property. We’ve also been working on some brand new skills! The children are moving on from mark-making to writing letters, either in our handwriting books or to label our drawings! During Numeracy, Reception are also starting to recognise numbers 0-10, and have even started to write those! What an amazing bunch we are!
