Reception – Term 3, Week 3 – Henleaze Infant School

Key dates

Over the next 2 weeks (w/c 19th January and 26th January), we are going to be learning about fairytales. If you speak another language and would be happy to come into school and read your child’s class a fairytale in another language, please speak to your child’s class teacher.
We would love to read lots of different fairytales in school. Please bring in any named copies of fairytale books you have at home. Alternative versions are also welcome!

Please bring in clean cardboard boxes of all sizes for our Design and Build area (junk modelling). No plastic please.

The focus this week is Communication and Language. We would love to see a video clip of your child reciting a rhyme they know off by heart.

You can also send us any moments that you feel are significant in your child’s learning or want to share with your child’s class teachers.
