*Our Christian Value for the term*

Our Christian value for this term is Service in the Community.

Living a life of service is about keeping your eyes open and looking out for ways to make others smile.

Jesus was called the ‘servant king’; his mission was to serve God and to serve all those people he met, through his teaching, his example and the way he led his life.

The Bible teaches us that we should all serve those in need, whoever they are, and ‘go the extra mile’ to put ourselves out for someone else’s benefit.

Who are the unsung heroes who serve us? Who are they at school and at home? How do you serve others?

We look forward to receiving your hand of service, to show how you have demonstrated an understanding of service at home.

“For a community to be whole and healthy, it must be based on people's love and concern for each other.” (Millard Fuller)

*Our Learning for this term*

This term our topic is

Once Upon a Time

This term we are focussing on developing our language skills. We will be looking at different types of homes and talking about what we see and which houses we like and why. The children will then work together to build a house fit for a pig but not for a wolf!

As part of our Cinderella unit, we will talk about our favourite shoes in the shoe shop! We will use language like, bigger and smaller to describe how the shoes fit on our feet.

As part of our Expressive Art and Design learning we will be looking at how to join different materials, we will do this mainly through junk modelling, using pva to join different boxes and tubes. Are you a builder? Could you come and demonstrate how a wall is built?

We will also read and become familiar with the Easter Story from the Bible. The children will have opportunities to talk about the parts that they remember and the parts that they enjoy.

The children will start to learn to recognise their names this term, over the term we will introduce a self registration, this means that in a morning the children will come into Caterpillars and find their name and then put it in the basket to show they are here. The names will be accompanied with a photograph to begin with.

CAN YOU SUPPORT YOUR CHILD IN RECOGNISING THEIR NAME AT HOME TOO?

WE PLAY OUTSIDE IN ALL WEATHERS, CAN YOU HELP YOUR CHILD LEARN TO PUT THEIR COAT ON ALL BY THEMSELVES.

ALL CHILDREN DO NEED WELLIES IN AT THIS TIME OF YEAR.
