Welcome back after the long weekend, we hope you all enjoyed the beautiful sunshine! We’re going to be all about the fruit in this short week at school!! We’ll be learning a French song about fruit (thanks to Malaika’s mum Valentina for the link – www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJ03KjwiIVM), we’ll be making healthy fruit smoothies, and finally we’ll have an activity with fruit and vegetable mystery bags – seeing if the children can identify a fruit/vegetable by using their sense of touch alone. We can then extend this exercise to use blindfolds and encourage the children to use their sense of smell to identify the fruit/vegetables. We’ll also be making playdough, having more grandparent visits and celebrating more birthdays, so another fun week ahead!!

Note: Any parent who would like to come in to spend the morning with us, do an activity, have a parent-teacher meeting – or all of the above! – please let us know as we’re pencilling people in over the next few weeks before we finish up on June 29th.
