This week in Snowdon Class...

Week commencing 30th March 

What a special week we’ve had! 

It was marvellous to end the term with our East Bonnet Parade and Easter service at Christ Church.  It was wonderful to see all the beautiful bonnets and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the service.  Thank you very much to all of you who helped make bonnets and came to the service. 

Easter was very much the theme of the week and the children deepened their understanding of Christian beliefs surrounding Easter and looked at different ways people celebrate Easter around the world such as egg painting, egg hunts and flower displays.  

We look forward to welcoming you back on 20th April.  Please make sure that you bring your P.E. kit to school to include spare pants, socks and tights and bring back any wellies or mud suits which you took home over the break as they will still be used in the Summer Term.  

Message from Mrs Crumly 

Thank you so much for the fantastic film and the beautiful cards, flowers and gifts.  I was very touched by your thoughtfulness and generosity, and I will treasure my new USB stick!  I am so sorry I could not be with you this week, but I promise I will come and visit you all soon so we can have a proper goodbye and I can hear all your news.  I have loved getting to know you all and I am so grateful for all the wonderful memories we’ve made together.  Thank you Team Snowdon, I’ll see you soon!  

This week’s talking task:  

Our topic in term 5 will be ‘big wide world’ - please can you collect or bring in any postcards of places you have been or maybe have received, or a photo of you from somewhere you have been on holiday.  We are opening our own travel agency and therefore are looking for travel brochures, leaflets, maps or tickets if you have any spare. 

Please continue to share books with your child and practise the phonic sounds, and use the techniques which have been shared with you at Wednesday Check-In sessions this term.  Use of Numbots https://play.numbots.com/#/intro  will also be beneficial. 

To enable children to develop their language skills, we have used AI to translate this into other languages spoken in our school community.   

The children are encouraged to use the toilets and drink water throughout the day and are allowed to go to the toilet whenever they need.

The Reception timetable evolves as the children settle into the routine of school.  This is what we are hoping the timetable will be by the end of term.

During Adventure Time, the children are free to use and explore the resources and activities in the indoor and outdoor classrooms.  During this time, the Reception adults lead activities or work with individuals or small groups on a particular task or skill.  Waterproofs and wellies are used everyday during these sessions, so these stay in school.
