2nd Half Summer Term @ Lavender, Beddington - Week 6
7th – 11th July 2025
Our butterflies had all emerged by the time we returned on Monday! We had a good look at them to see their colours and patterns, before we let them go.
Over the last couple of weeks, we have watched them and talked about how they have changed from tiny caterpillars, to chrysalids and then into fluttering butterflies. We have counted their legs, talked about symmetry, explored patterns, read stories, sung songs and explored some art
activities about butterflies.
Our 2-a-day stories for the week ahead are…
Caterpillar group will be joining in with sound cards and:
Dear Zoo by Rod Campbell
Row, Row, Row Your Boat by Annie Kubler
Butterfly group will be joining in with Jolly phonics rhymes and…
Not Now, Bernard by David McKee
Shark in the Park! by Nick Sharratt
Next week’s Jolly Phonics letter sounds are “j” and “b”.
The short songs can be found on the internet.

Words for Life
As the weather is getting warmer, please remember to bring a named sun-hat and to put sun cream on your child before they come in.
All children that stay for lunch will need to bring a named bottle of sun-cream for us to reapply after lunch – we do not have a spare one!
