It's Friyay!

It was lovely to get back to a bit or normality with Parent’s Evening this week. As always, thank you for all your support and everything that you are doing at home to enhance the children’s experiences. The children's rock collections are growing and we’ve even had some prehistoric teeth, claws, crystals and a few gems stones adorning our shelves this week.

We have been really impressed with the children’s story telling skills this week. They have followed their V.I.P’s ( Visual Instructional Plans, a little like a storyboard) to structure 8 paragraphs to recount the story of Stone Age Boy. Ask your child if they can tell you the story in their own words. We bet it will be filled with lots of super adjectives, adverbs and colourful vocabulary. Rehearsing a story verbally really supports the children’s ability to recall the correct sequence and key events in a story. We are all authors!

As we continue to take a journey through The Stone Age we have focussed on chronological order, plotting today, our lifetime, the birth of Jesus, the start of written history and the terms BC and AD on a timeline. The children couldn’t believe that modern history is basically a click of the finger, a blink of an eye or clap of the hands and yet the Stone Age began over 3,000,000 million years ago. Mind boggling!

We are looking forward to another week of discovery.

Have a great weekend everyone!
