The Easter Story
Each week we will be:
- Looking at a story and will be doing some ‘book work’.
- Studying non-fiction information texts to help us learn more about each celebration.
- Doing lots of counting, patterns, prepositions, shape and size.
- Doing different craft activities which enhance the skills of the children. The craft activities will compliment the topic.
- Solving problems by becoming Mousekers.
- And lots of other activities!
If you have any books or resources that you would be happy to lend us to promote enthusiasm among the children in order to enhance their learning I would be most grateful if you could send them in.
I am really looking forward to this term!!
