Topics - Term 3: Farms
The Children will investigate the exciting topic of Farms over the term. Talk , Play and activities will revolve around the life and the work of a farmer, different kinds of farming around the world both in the past and the present. They will learn about animals on farms comparing those traditionally in the UK and Jordan and the variety of farm produce. Our role play areas will begin in the form of a barn and a chicken coop and over the term will extend outside to involve a range of different live stock, traditional and local.
Water
While we are learning about farms and farming we are also looking into water and its uses, both in the home and on the farm. We have already talked about how hard it is for some people to access water in some places around the world and we will do more of this during the term. The children will investigate water, consider life under water, water safety and water conservation.
Sun Safety
No hat : No sun! The sun is beginning to get warmer now and is creeping round into our playground. We will have shades put up again very soon, however it is important to get into good habits. We therefore ask that your child has a hat in school, with their name on, that we can keep here for them to use on sunny days. The school policy is that if the child has no hat they must play in the shade.
Outside Activities
It can still be chilly in the shade; please continue to send your child to school with a light jacket/sweatshirt so they have the option if they should need it.

Prompt Arrival at School
We would like to ask that parents try to ensure children arrive at school by 7.45am. The children all have morning routine tasks which are an important part of their day to promote independence and develop their organisational skills. Children who arrive after others are settled and organised often find it difficult or distressing to separate from a parent or carer and settle to their tasks.

Summer Spare Clothing Kit
Please only send a summer t-shirt and shorts kit to school now but remember to add socks and undergarments. Please also make sure that your child wears a comfortable and safe pair of trainers to school. We would appreciate that no loose sandals, flip-flops, or crocs be worn to school as it is unsafe when they are running or playing outside.
Lunch Boxes
Please continue to encourage a healthy snack for your child in school. A healthy snack is one which refuels the body and mind, with less sugars and fats making for a healthy and happy child.
Water Bottles
Now that the warmer weather has arrived it is especially important that all children have water bottles so they have access to water at any moment. We keep the bottles filled up during the day.
