Newsletter Friday 8th April 2016

Dear Parents,

What a busy final week it has been!  Here are the highlights:

F2 Trip to KizCiti
Please see yesterday blog post for photos and more details.

Dinosaurs
We visited Y3's Dinosaur Museum on Wednesday and were amazed by some of the things we saw! We also watched some short clips of a programme called 'Walking With Dinosaurs' which showed us how dinosaurs would have looked, moved and lived when they were alive.

Finally today, we had a dinosaur party.  Each of the children decorated a dinosaur of their choice and then we stuck it onto a headband,  Everyone had a dinosaur name.  For example, Hung chose to decorate a Spinosaurus so he was called a 'Hungosaurus' at our party.  We also made a dinosaur cake on Thursday which we shared during our party.

The children are still interested in our dinosaur theme so after the holidays we will be focusing more on what Palaeontologists do and also find out more about our favourite dinosaurs.

Library
Ms Clarissa shared a story this book called 'Nighty Night'.  It was a story about a dinosaur family in which the baby dinosaur didn't want to go to sleep.  This led to a discussion amongst the children about who they sleep with at home and whether they don't feel like going to bed sometimes and what happens!

Physical Development
This week in the splash pool the children enjoyed 'catching' dinosaurs with collanders.  We also sent some time in the big playground using the biked, trikes and scooters as well as using the climbing frame and SuperNova.

Things you can do at home
-Please share any dinosaur books you might have at home with your child.  Ask your child what their favourite dinosaur is and what it looks like and what it may have eaten.

Notices
-Term 3 starts on Monday 25th April
-Please can we ask that children wear shoes that cover their feet at school. No sandals please.
-It is now much sunnier during our splash pool time.  Please can we ask you to apply sunblock on your child in the morning and wear a swimming hat if they have one.

We hope you have a wonderful, safe holiday.  Thank you for your support.

Kind Regards,

Gurvinder and the F2 team
