Welcome to our last mid-week blog of this half term. I'm writing this whilst watching big flakes of snow float past the window. Last week we talked about adapting learning to what interests your child - what a time to put that into action! Its been 3 years since we had "proper" snow so if you have the time and inclination go and experience this incredible natural phenomenon of the world we live in!
This also gives us the opportunity to use this experience for any writing or work that you choose to do later in the week - why does it snow? How do you create a snowman? What is it like living in a country where this is a regular occurrence? Make snow art pictures. Take photos and write captions for them. Write a number sentence in the snow. Feel free to go where you child feels like going.
We are also mindful that this is week 6. Children are naturally tired after a long period of learning - this happens in school so be realistic about expectations this week. Please, though, take the time to drop us an email to let us know how you are doing - we'd love to see photos of any snowmen or snow activities you are taking part in! Mrs O'Connor found these tracks in the snow - what could it be? Can you find any of your own?
So with all this in mind we wish you a wonderful half term break. We will publish the blog for 22nd February at some point on the weekend before. Massive thank you for all that you have achieved, big and small. Feel proud of both your children and your own efforts and remember that you are doing an amazing job.
Take care
Mr Jude, Mrs Yuille & Mrs O'Connor
