Badgers Class

25 January 2025 (by schoollogin)

Another busy week!

This week, Badgers took part in road safety awareness training. The children were taught how to cross the road safely and identified the safest places to cross the road. We discussed the importance of holding an adults hand when crossing the road and to stop, look and listen! Badgers had lots of fun putting those rules to practise in a role play activity in the hall.

As part of our Under the Sea topic, and to investigate melting and freezing, we have tried to free the penguin from the ice! How can we turn the ice to water? What could we do with the water to turn it back into ice? The children had some great ideas and explanations. 

In Phonics, our new sounds are ur (curl), ow (town), oi (join) and ear (beard). It is brilliant to see an increase in the children's confidence with reading. Please continue to read with your child at home and make note in their reading record. 

Next week, we will celebrate Chinese New Year! We have lots of activities planned including food tasting, creating dragon heads, and much more. 

Also next week we are celebrating National Mental Heath week and National Story Telling week. We are combining the two events and opening our doors to parents for a story and a 'mood boosting' activity!
You are invited to join us whichever day suits you. The events will take place Monday- Friday 2:45pm.
I look forward to seeing you all! 
Any questions please don't hesitate to ask us.

Have a great weekend
