Country Research
This morning, we have done a Reception sweepstake ahead of the Euro 2020 Tournament starting this evening. We had lots of drum rolls and excitement as we each picked a team. I have asked the class to research the country they have chosen and write down one fact and draw a picture with a label.
They could think about flags, location, geography, food, the possibilities are endless!
We will add these facts to out wall chart display next week. Please send the facts in via reading folders by Wednesday (16th).
As always please let the children write as independently as possible using the sounds they know. Some words might look strange to me and you but they will be phonetically correct!
Fundamental Movement Skills
Our sports day will take place on Monday afternoon, we have been practicing all week. Over the weekend the children could sharpen up their rolling a ball technique ahead of Monday’s fun!
Thank you and have fun,
Miss Lavelle
