Week 2, 1st Half Spring Term @ Lavender – Beddington
13th – 17th January 2025
We have had a great first week back, the children have told us about their holiday and the fun things they have been doing with their families.
Next week we will be welcoming some of our new children and families.
Our 2-a-day stories for the week ahead are…
Caterpillar group will be joining in with sound cards and:
That’s not my Snowman… by Fiona Watt & Rachel Wells
Don’t Tickle the Hippo by Sam Taplin
Butterfly group will be joining in with Jolly phonics rhymes and… 
Oh No! Shark in the Snow by Nick Sharratt 
Each Peach Pear Plum by J&A Ahlberg
Next week’s Jolly Phonics letter sounds are “t” and “p”.
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.
