Over this term, we will be looking at 'Growing' through, ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’, role play, music, songs and stories, PE, planting seeds to observe, and finding out what a seed needs to grow. Then in a few week's time hopefully when ‘Jack Frost’ has disappeared, we will be able to plant them out in our allotment and in the nursery garden.
To decorate an Easter bonnet for our 'Easter Parade'. Please return your Easter bonnets by Wednesday 17th March 2021 in a carrier bag. We will then have an Easter bonnet competition on 24th March 2021.

Help children develop an “ear” for rhyme and alliteration (1) model how rhyming words sound the same at the end; (2) by encouraging children to listen for the initial sounds in words; and (3) by reading aloud and reciting to children and having the children themselves recite and sing nursery rhymes and poems. Choose nursery rhymes and poems that are rich in rhyme and alliteration. “Hey Diddle, Diddle,” “Little Boy Blue,” and “Mary, Mary” are just three of the many nursery rhymes that will help do the job. “Hey Diddle, Diddle,” for example, contains these rhyme pairs: diddle/fiddle; moon/spoon; and alliteration in the repetition of the initial consonant d in the opening phrase: “Hey diddle, diddle.” It’s easy peasy as one, two, three so why not have a go.
Other ways of making it fun a home.
· Make rhyming word games with pictures cut from catalogues and magazines, for example, ‘boat’ and ‘coat’. Mount them on to card and take turns to find a match. Or makeup rhyming words from the
· Borrow a selection of nonsense poems from a library. Choose poems to read together, exaggerating rhymes and nonsense words.

David Attenborough is well known for his award-winning television programs on anthropology and natural history, most notably the Life series: Life on Earth (1979), The Living Planet (1984)
He was knighted 'Sir David Attenborough' in 1985.
2015 - saving the world - Sir David said he didn't start making programs with conservation in mind - he simply enjoyed observing the natural world. But as time passed he is tackling more environmental issues.
Sir David Attenborough became aware that the animals and habitats he was filming were under threat. He's authored documentaries that overtly tackle environmental issues but prefers a subtler approach, showcasing the natural world in the hope we might be inspired to preserve it.
Over the next year, we will be learning about our environmental footprint by saving water, recycling, protecting animal habits, and healthy eating.
