a Dinosaur Hunt’. If your child has
a pair of binoculars that they
would like to bring in on

it might help them with their hunt.

Personal, Social, Emotional
Development
Our SEAL topic is – Good to Be
Me. The theme is about
understanding our feelings as well
as considering our strengths and
weaknesses as learners. It aims to
develop knowledge, understanding
and skills in three key social and
emotional aspects of learning:
self-awareness, managing feelings
and empathy. We will talk about
the things that we are really good
at which will make us feel proud of
ourselves. This week we will hear a
story about someone who was very
excited and think of ways to help
us stay calm before accidents
happen.
Phonics
In phonics some children will be
playing lots of listening games and
the older children will be learning
all about the letter ‘c’, what sound
it makes and objects that begin
with that sound.
UW - Technology
The children will use the Ten Town
programme on the I pads to form
their numbers correctly.
