Topic- Seaside alphabet- Can you think of seaside objects that start with each letter of the alphabet? Can you think of more than one word for each box?

RE – Special Times. Flowers – Flowers often play a large role in making times special. e.g. weddings, funerals, festivals, birthdays, anniversaries, saying thank you, congratulations and farewell. Make a flower garland, paint flowers, make card and paper flowers. Look carefully at the beauty of flowers.

PSHE - When you come back to school you will be in Year 1, you have grown up a lot and you have changed. I’d like you to write down 5 things you’re looking forward to on your return to school and 2 things which you may be worried about. Jennie Jigsaw reminds us that changes can make people worried and she’d like you to watch the story the huge bag of worries. We read this in school and had some great discussions about how to deal with worries. Talk to a grown up about any worries you may have. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBcakxX9LTM
