This week the children have been practicing for sports day and have spent lots of time with Mr Mills running on the track. We have looked at what sports days look like in other schools so that the children had an idea what it actually meant. I hope you all had a good day watching or for some having to join in with the activities.
It was good to see some of you at our induction evening on Wednesday and we are looking forward to welcoming our new families into our school community. It will be strange that your children will become the older ones as they join reception. We are very lucky at Little Heath as we no transition issues as the only changes for your children will be that they will only be sitting on a different carpet. Sometimes children get upset at the thought of transitioning to another class so we do encourage you to not build up this situation for them. As far as they are concerned they will be coming to us in the same way we will just have some new children to play with. Please speak to me if you have any concerns about any issues in relation to this.
We have continued learning about the Life cycle of a butterfly this week and we can't believe how quickly our caterpillars are growing. We think they have tripled in size since last week. The children are very observant and can describe the changes in the caterpillar's appearance very well. Throughout the week we have been story telling 'The very hungry caterpillar'. The children used the props to sequence the events of the story.
Next Friday is the reception assembly and we are looking forward to watching them share their work with their families. We also have parent consultations on Thursday so please sign up if you have not already done so.
Have a great weekend.
Mrs Robinson
