Our Monday Morning is the tale of the Night Dragons. One dragon was a little different from the rest.

Listen to what happens..... It proves that it is okay to be different and have your own set of skills.

The dragons in this tale are all sorts of colours but the most beautiful one is all colours under the sun.

We will be talking about how just three colours mixed together can make a rainbow of colours.

Below is another favourite story of ours that inspires the children to get colour mixing. 

Watch this video for some tips about drawing your dragon ready to mix your own colours and make it magical!

Our dragons 'fly high' this week and we will be using this story to help us learn our set 2 sound 'igh- I fly high'. We will be making kites that have 'igh words on their tails, going on a dragon 'igh' word hunt and writing 'igh' word onto dragon scales. 

For children developing an awareness of their set 1 sounds we will be reading 'Rapunzel' who was stuck in the 't t tower!' to reinforce this sound we will be building lots of 't t towers' and looking for objects around the room that start with a 't'. We will be looking at some of other traditional tales that we weren't as familiar with last week. Pinochio and Hansel and Gretel.

We wanted to say a big thank you to all of the children and parents for being so amazing over the the last couple of months, but someone else wanted to say thank you too.

It is that time of year where we let you know who you will be with next year.

The Starfish children will be moving into a  Year 1 class with Miss Simpson

Due to the odd situation we find ourselves in at the moment, with Coronavirus restrictions, you  unfortunately might not get to meet Miss Simpson face to face or spend time with her in your new classroom.

However, Mrs Lindley and Miss Simpson are a whizz with technology so we will be arranging video meetings, shared stories  and joint activities for the last two weeks of term. We will try to venture into your new classroom so you get used to your new surroundings. This means you will feel confident and happy ready to start your Key Stage 1 journey in September, all being well.

The Seahorse class will be moving across the unit into Mrs Lindley's and Mrs Gerrard's zone. Hopefully you are all familiar with that anyway so your transition should be a lot smoother. However, if there are any questions as your children enters into their F2 year, please don't hesitate to ask.

Our Monday morning story is all about a little boy who wakes up to find a dragon living under his stairs.

He is over the moon...but doesn't know what to do with the dragon. He decides to write to different people and ask for the information he needs. 

It is great to see all of the children at dragon school not just the ones who are actually in school!

Our Monday Morning Story all about Zog the little dragon who has to go to school to learn all about the skills he will need to be a grown up dragon. Will he get a Gold Star?

Our talking/writing prompts this week come from the story.
