This week...

Worship

This week we have continued our branch ‘To the Ends of the Earth’. Our key words this week were parish, Holy Spirit and Pentecost.

We began by watching a video all about Pentecost Click here.

The Holy Spirit came to the disciples at Pentecost.  It looked like flames and sounded like the wind. We had a picture of the 12 disciples and 12 flames with numbers on them. We worked hard and put the numbers in the correct order above their heads.

Our child led worship this week focused on the Holy Spirit. We had a picture to look at – the Holy Spirit was represented by a dove. We spoke about how we cannot see the Holy Spirit but we can feel it inside us. We also noticed that we say ‘the Holy Spirit’ when we make the sign of the cross. We watched this video, click here to watch at home.

Our prayer leaders led us beautifully in prayer and we finished by saying the Hail Mary.

Learning landscape

This week we have been busy bees exploring 2D ‘shapes’ We have:

  • talked about each shape and what makes them that shape as well as their names; corners, curved sides, straight sides, short sides and long sides

  • been on a shape hunt

  • sorted shapes and joined them together to make different shapes

  • drawn each shape

  • visited forest school- we love going to forest school

  • met numbers beyond ten…tricky!

  • continued designing our Sports Day t-shirts. They are looking fabulous!

  • played in the garden; going on bug hunts, using the big outdoor water play, making a cafe in the sand, checking on the tadpoles and the snail hotel

  • …and most importantly have had lots of fun in the sun!

Silly Hat and Sock Week!

Sports day

EYFS Sports Day is being held on Wednesday 10th June at 9.15 am. Please make sure you child is wearing shorts and a t-shirt, trainers, sun cream and a hat as well as bringing a bottle of water with them. Each child will have their bespoke t-shirt ready to change into when they arrive at nursery.

This event is open to all the children but please can you let us know if your child is unable to attend or you feel they may be unsettled as it is a very busy and loud event.

Finally, I’ve got the BBQ fired up and I am hoping for a relaxing Bank Holiday Weekend! I hope you are too!

Have fun and stay safe.

God Bless
