Royal Wedding week

What an exciting few days we have ahead of us this week we hope you all enjoyed the lovely weather we have had this weekend and are planning your celebrations for our Royal wedding this weekend.





Topic and Literacy
This week we will be looking at celebrations through the Royal wedding. The children will be looking at how we celebrate at weddings, why we have them, what happens and how we prepare for them.

We will be learning about the Royal family, their family tree and showing video footage of the previous Royal marriage of Princess Diana and Prince Charles. On Thursday the 28th of April the children will have the opportunity to dress-up for our Royal celebrations and in our outdoor area we will be creating our own decorations to re-create a wedding venue for the children to role-play a wedding ceremony in which we will learn the National Anthem.

Numeracy
We will be finishing our block on addition this week making sure the children have secured number sentences and adding one and two digit numbers together to create a new total (altogether). The children will be practicing their counting in 2's, 5's and 10's. We will be highlighting number bonds to 10 and doubles when writing our addition sentences.

Reminders

• As the weather is unusually hot for this time of year the sun is particularly strong so please bring in some sun cream, along with a sunhat, named please!! Your child will have the opportunity to apply some during the day.
  
• We have a lot of unclaimed jumpers at the moment, mainly unnamed. The children often take them off during the warmer days and put them in the jumper boxes. It is proving impossible to get them back to their rightful owners if they are nameless. If you are missing any jumpers then please do check the jumper box in morning or when you collect your child.
• NEW YORK CLASS ASSEMBLY this Thursday 28th April at 10.30, we look forward to seeing you many of you on the day.
• ROYAL WEDDING DINNER - The children will need to dress up as if they are attending a wedding on Thursday 28th April for our wedding celebrations.
• EASTER EGG BOXES - If you do have any spare egg boxes this week the children are setting up an Easter egg shop outside so would be greatly appreciated.

We look forward to seeing you all in the morning.
