This week we will be continuing with our Goldilocks and the three bears. We will also be starting a small project with the children to find out what they would like from an outside area and what they like to play with outside. We will be dong some research on the Internet, looking at catalogues and books, drawing, cutting and sticking to make a 'wish list'.

PSRN:- Size and language related to size. Comparisons of size. Number recognition and counting. Matching and sorting.

CLL:- Goldilocks and the three bears, recalling and retelling the story. Sounds and Letters will be musical instruments, playing with instruments, learning their names and recognising the sounds.

@Home:- We have been playing lots of different CD'S and styles of music in the mornings and getting the children to listen and say if they like it, what does it make them think about and what instruments can they hear. They could do this  at home. We have been listening to Adele and Ellie Goulding this week so whatever you enjoy at home is great!

A note from Mr. Butcher's Blog - FREE SMARTIES

Taken from Mr. Butcher's Blog - I (Mr. Butcher) am giving away Free tubes of smarties to those that want to help with fundraising. There is a catch……you can eat the smarties but then save up all those odd 20 pence pieces putting them in the empty tube, once full you bring the tube to me with the money inside (about £6) and I will give you a new tube full of smarties to start all over again.
