Happy Easter!

 Happy Easter Hedgehogs and Hedgehog Parents!

We had a really good final week of term. Our Mantle of the Expert story came to an end, with the children rescuing the last mammoth from a hungry cave man (don't worry, they provided the cave man with an alternative diet) and bringing it back to 2022. It was introduced to the elephant herd and they all seemed to get along well. 

The children also had their marble jar treat, with pyjamas, teddies, a film and Easter basket making. Arthur, Emily, Joshua, Jemima, Isabelle and Theo, you were missed! We are looking forward to seeing you all again after the holidays. 

Finally, on Friday we had our Easter service and egg hunt, and the sun shone so everyone was happy!

The most important thing over Easter is to have a good holiday – rest and enjoy yourselves! 

Here are some things you can be practising to keep you ticking over - resources can be found in this folder.

·    Reception:

     Read books on Rising Stars

P   Practise your letter formation (sheets are in the folder) - practise each family at
a time because they are linked to each other

Play games subitising numbers - first to 5, then 6, 7, etc (various resources in the folder)

Practise writing numbers to 10 (number formation rhymes are in the folder)

Make sure you practise your sounds so they don't fall out of your head! You can use phonicsplay.co.uk, or https://www.phonicsbloom.com/  (selecting phase 2 and phase 3 sounds)

     Write a diary or a post card to me about your favourite days - one or two sentences is enough! Parents, help your child to say their sentence, put spaces between words and hear the sounds in words.
