Week 1, 2nd Half Spring Term @ Lavender, Beddington
24th – 28th February 2025
Don’t forget that Pre-School will be closed for 1 week for the half term break. We will return as usual on Monday 24th February 2025.
We explored Valentine’s Day last week with art activities, talking about people that are special to us, and icing a heart shaped biscuit to share with someone special… 😉
Our 2-a-day stories for the week ahead are…
Caterpillar group will be joining in with sound cards and:
Don’t tickle the Dinosaur by Sam Taplin & Ana Larranaga
Baa Baa, Black Sheep by Annie Kubler
Butterfly group will be joining in with Jolly phonics rhymes and…
Not Last Night But The Night Before by Colin McNaughton & Emma Chichester Clark
One Mole Digging A Hole by Julia Donaldson & Nick Sharratt
Next week’s Jolly Phonics letter sounds are “d” and “g”.
The short songs can be found on the internet.

Words for Life
Please remember to put plain water only in your child’s water bottle in case of allergies. Some of the children have realised that there is flavoured water in certain bottles and are helping themselves to those, so we are emptying several every day and refilling with water.
If it is easier, you can bring an empty bottle each day and we will fill it when you arrive.
