Summer Term – Week 10

Dear Parents,

This week, we celebrated Sports Day with lots of exciting activities!


The children made flags and medals and took part in a tunnel game designed to develop their gross motor skills.

Vocabulary Focus:

This week, we introduced the following vocabulary:

• Healthy food, junk food

• Running, jumping, dribbling, sliding, etc.

Group Time Highlights:

• We read Little Monkey

• Talked about different sports

• Sang nursery rhymes

• Practiced counting from 1 to 10

• Explored shapes

• Worked with groups of objects

• Practiced a new ballet dance for the show

Montessori Activity:

Our Montessori activity this week was sewing.


The children practiced “pretend sewing” using fun patterns and laces. They all completed their work with the help of the teachers.

A Quick Look at Our Week:

• Monday – Italian:

We didn’t have our Italian lesson, as we were busy preparing for Sports Day.

• Tuesday – Cooking:

No cooking this week as it was Sports Day!

A big thank you to all the parents who joined us for this wonderful and sunny day — we truly appreciate your support!

• Wednesday – Forest School (Indoors):

Due to rain, we held our forest school activity indoors.

The children painted sweet wooden flowers.

• Thursday – Computer Science:

We learned about the interactive whiteboard and how it works.

• Friday – Drama & Music:

For Drama, we performed a small puppet show featuring a race between a cat, a snake, and some turtles.

The turtle was the slowest, but also the cleverest — and won the race using her brain!

For Music, we explored how the body can be used to make music through body percussion.


Reminders & Important Dates:

• Parent Meetings: Tuesday & Wednesday, 8th–9th July

• Performance Day: Tuesday, 15th July

• Morning Session: 9:30 AM

• Afternoon Session: 2:30 PM

• End of Year Party: Wednesday, 16th July at 1:00 PM

• Last Day of School: Thursday, 17th July (normal time)

• Inset Day: Friday, 18th July — school will be closed


Wishing you all a lovely and restful weekend!

Warm regards,

Linda
