Week of 22nd October 2012

The children have been continuing enjoying the book 'I see fall' we have been looking at the different things that are happening on each page, then we have been trying to see if we can do them in the

Don't forget we break up for half term on Thursday 25th October and return Monday 5th November.

Communication and Language:- Listening and recall of 'I see fall' by Charles Jatkowska, this is a lovely American book, great for colours and rhyming.
Talking about new words, celebrate, silhouette, fall, britches, what do they mean and how can we use them.

Physical Development:- Dressing up, beginning to manage tops and trousers. Threading leaves.

PSED:- Thinking about kind hands.

POWSA Blog - Non ICT Day

I have this little sister Lola, she is small and very funny.  Next Wednesday (the 24^th of October) will be a non-ICT day.  That means all the children, including Lola and all the teachers cannot use computers or other technology in school! There will be no blogging, no typing, no googling, no surfing. There will certainly be no interactive white boarding, no tweeting, no ipadding, no videoing and certainly no tomatoes! Lola is looking forward to catching out her teachers, if they use some ICT, they have to pay a 50p fine!  Hopefully all the children will help Lola and raise funds for the school. Thank you - Charlie (and the POWSA Committee) - PS donations to POWSA for school equipment will be welcomed (as always!!)

POWSA Blog - Book Fair!

Just a quick reminder that the scholastic book fair starts today.  The books are available to browse by both children and parents after school Wed-Mon and at the parents evening tonight. Why not stock up on a few Christmas presents, or introduce your kids to another fantastic author? Once our target has been reached, the school receive 60% of the profit back to spend on books for school.  This has proven a very profitable venture in the past and we hope to replicate the success again this year!
