Dear Langley Friends
and Family,
We are well and truly
into our third term. Everyone has been
enjoying the changes to our room and taking the opportunity to play outside
when the weather is nice.
This week we have
focused our morning meeting story on the book by Pamela Allen, ‘Who Sank The
Boat’. The Langley children have enjoyed
investigating into floating and sinking due to the story. You may like to extend upon this at home
during bath time. Chatting about cause and effect or trial and error of objects
that may float or sink. We have started
to introduce a boat that might carry things that do sink.
If you have a spare
moment during drop off or pick up head over the overhead projector and try out
some shadow puppets with your child. We
are using it has another story telling medium leading into book week.
Book Week is fast approaching us in week 5, 21st
– 25th August. Note that
on Thursday the 24th is our dress up day. All children are welcome to dress up as any
book character on this day. If your child would like to bring along their book
(named) we would love to read as many books during dress up day as possible.
The Langley children
have started to take an interest in our baby chickens that have hatched in the
Mead three year old room. Here some
children have started to talk about themselves when they were babies. To follow up on this interest we encourage as
many families to bring in a baby photo,
over this week, of your child for us to create a display for the children to
explore.
