Puffins – Week commencing 9^th May 2022

Hello and Welcome to Puffins Weekly blog!

I hope everyone has had a lovely weekend!

Last week

Puffins have had a lovely week last. Lots of dancing to start our mornings to get us ready for our learning but also in aid of World Dance Day which was on Friday!

In maths we have been looking at 2D and 3D shapes and also halves and quarters of shape.

We also did some more planting of wild flowers and preparing beds for more planting.

This week

This week we will be spending each morning in the school garden where we will be digging more beds for planting, planting potatoes, onions and rhubarb. We will also be planting certain flowers such as nasturtium and marigolds and garlic to act as natural pesticides to help protect our lovely vegetables. We will be making our own plant food from nettles which we will use to help our plants grow.

We will be doing some forest school learning too which will include den building, rope work making bridges, ladders and rope swings but also learning how to make shelters. So don’t forget to bring your water bottles, wellies, sun cream and sunhats for an action packed week!!!

Please encourage your child to read a few pages of their book each night and it would be helpful to practice their times tables with them too. At the moment, we are working on 10’s, 2’s, 5’s and 3’s. The websites below are great fun for Times Tables practice.
