Week 5, 2nd Half Autumn Term @ Lavender, Beddington
2nd - 6th December 2024
We will be putting our Christmas post box out this week! It will remain out until the end of term and name lists will be sent home so your child can choose some friends to send cards to. Name lists will be sent home this week.
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.
Our 2-a-day stories for the week ahead are…
Caterpillar group will be joining in with sound cards and:
That’s not my elf… by Fiona Watt & Rachel Wells
Dear Santa by Rod Campbell
Butterfly group will be joining in with Jolly phonics rhymes and…
Santa’s Christmas Countdown by Sebastien Braun
We’re Going on a Sleigh Ride! by Martha Mumford & Cherie Zamazing
Next week’s Jolly Phonics letter sounds are “v” and “y”.
The short songs can be found on the internet.
