Hello everyone,

Welcome to July's news letter.

I cannot believe we have got to July already!

Last month we  continued to explore "Mini Beasts." One of the little ones brought me a ladybird the other day, she said, "Look, I found a ladybird, its orange and spotty." We have we have looked at spiders and spider webs and we have held wiggly worms and observed our caterpillars as they grew, became chrysalids and emerged as butterflies. Watching the children's faces as we let them go in the garden was a truly magical moment.

We have also been observing the strawberries as they develop, grow and ripen; its now a race every morning to see who can find the first ripe strawberry, harvesting strawberries, washing them, chopping them and sharing them at snack time has provided some good Gross motor and fine motor practice, as well as some good sharing practice.  

​

Because everybody seems to love cars, buses, planes etc. I thought that this month, we would look at transport

​

As usual my planning can be found on our current topic page.

Now that we have got to June, it is important that all our little ones arrive each day with a sun hat and sun screen. As well as this, we need to be prepared for every eventuality, so please remember to bring your little one in a suitable coat for the season, we like to get out, even when it is raining.

​

And finally, a word about illness. I appreciate that nobody can take time off work every time their little one has a cold, so, if your little one has a mild cold -clear runny cold, a mild cough and can cope with the day without medication, then bring them in. However, if your child needs medication has thick green snot and a harsh cough, they need to be at home.

 

​

​Thankyou so much for your support.
