Gardening and pirate time!

Hi all,

I hope you've all noticed the beautiful grounds surrounding our school. We have planted herbs and vegetables in our outdoor planters and brightened up our golden garden with some plants and shrubs. A BIG HUGE THANK YOU to Mrs Simmons- William and Martha's mum who kindly donated lots of the plants and shrubs you see around our grounds and in the lovely planters on the yard. We have had great fun making the gardens lots pretty and the children have learnt how to look after the environment and the schools surroundings.

We are starting our mini topic of 'Pirates' next week. We will put the ship to good use with lots of dressing up and role play. if you have any pirate costumes for us to borrow that would be greatly appreciated. If you and your child could research pirates on Internet or maybe pop to the local library to find out some information that would be useful. We will be making treasure maps and going on lots of treasure hunts in the next few weeks. Mrs Channon is developing a welsh pirate story sack with groups of children as well.

Keep reading and children are practising their months of the year each morning. Maybe you could ask them to tell you them! Also do they know their address? We have been working on this too.

Please remember PE kits on Tuesday for gymnastics.

bye for now,

Miss Jervis and Mrs Channon
