We have had a fun packed week in Foundation. At 11.00am on Monday we all stopped and closed our eyes for a minute to think about people who look after us and keep us safe. The children were very good at this and it was a good teaching tool for the children to understand and learn how to be reflective. Later in the week some boys started to write on postits and stick them all over the windows. When we asked them what they were doing they said they were writing lists so that we don't forget the war. It was very moving and provoked some interesting conversations.
The children played a game with the blindfolds, directing each other round the room. They were able to communicate effectively and responded well to the instructions. This activity also supports the children's language development.
REMINDERS
We are still getting uniform that is not clearly labelled. Can you please make sure all your child's uniform has their name clearly visible. As you are all aware many 3/4 year olds take jumpers, shoes, coats and other items of clothing off and drop them on the floor. As they are all wearing the same clothes it is almost impossible to keep track of it all. Recently we have had many jumpers go missing and this is an expense nobody wants. We are also trying to support the children in their understanding that they have go to take some responsibility for their belongings.
Please speak to me if you have any concerns.
Have a great weekend.
Mrs Robinson:)
