Thomas Willingale School and Nursery
Summer Term 2025
Week beginning 21st April '25
Welcome back everybody! It has been fantastic hearing about what children have got up to during their Easter break. On Monday, we went back in time millions of years to start our topic of Dinosaurs. Classes have been very engaged, asking questions and imparting the knowledge that they have already. We've even found a mysterious egg of giant proportions that we have made a nest for and we are wondering if it will hatch.
In English, we have been describing the egg and reading the story Brenda's egg. We have also become more confident at reading longer words. In writing, we have practised forming our letters and have written about our Easter holidays.
In maths, children have named the numerals on cards and then counted out the correct number of objects to it. We have also been comparing dinosaurs in terms of length, as well as continuing repeated patterns.
Classes have had lots of fun in P.E. moving in different ways, including incorporating apparatus. We have thought about travelling over benches in different ways, as well as moving under benches-through the gaps.
On Tuesday, it was Forest School. Children explored the mud kitchen alongside their peers and also had the opportunity to create a ladybird using some egg cartons and paint. On Friday, reception joined other year groups to watch the Year 3 and 4 performance. Despite it being a fairly long show, reception sat beautifully the whole way through- amazing!
