We had great fun baking and decorating Christmas cookies for our mini-project in DT!

We are in the full swing of Autumn 2 and have had a busy few weeks. 

We had a wonderful time looking at toys from the past at the Musuem of Childhood. 

Year 1 trip to Sudbury Hall, Museum of Childhood on Tuesday 3rd October. 

Wowee! We can't believe we only have two weeks left until the summer holidays - we are going to make the most of these two weeks with lots of children soon to be moving to year 1, we want to make their remaining time in EYFS as memorable as possible! We will also be rounding off our topic (which the children have loved), sharing our final big idea question and then in the last week re-visiting all that we have covered so far. 

This week we will be sharing the big idea question: 

• How can we help to keep our beaches/the sea nice and clean?  

And sharing these wonderful stories to help explore this question:

• Thank you for all the monkey costumes! If still to bring in, please do so as soon as possible as we have our dress rehearsal soon!
• We invite you to our EYFS class assembly this Friday (Friday 14th July) - please arrive to school for assembly starting at 3:00pm
• Remember our graduation celebration assembly dates coming up (Thursday 20th July)
  F1 children moving to F2- 11:15am-11:45am
  F2 children moving to Year 1 3:00pm - 3:30pm 
• F2- We will be sending home PE kits this week, so you can start to get these ready for Year 1 in September. 

This week our big idea question's are:

• What do pirates wear?
• What transport can/cannot travel on water?

We will be getting stuck in to all things pirate related! We will be sharing stories, singing songs, making ships and boats and exploring floating and sinking. 

Here are the brilliant stories that we will be sharing (along with lots of other pirate stories - feel free to bring any 'pirate' related books you might have at home that we can share with the children - remember to name them, so we can keep them safe).
