What a busy and HOT term we have had! We started off the term with our topic 'Growing and Changing' as we were still awaiting the arrival of our butterflies. We were soon rewarded with 4 Painted Lady butterflies that we released into the grass and hedge area at the back of our classroom.

We then started our new topic 'Where in the World is Ted?' Teddy Bear 'Buttons' had gone off on his travels and he was able to send us postcards from Germany, Italy and Spain before we finished the term. This gave us plenty of opportunity to explore these countries in a bit more detail. We learnt how to say 'Hello' and 'Goodbye' in each of these languages. We learnt about traditional foods that these countries serve and looked at some famous landmarks that Buttons the Bear had visited. 

The children really enjoyed art day. The artist that we focused on was 'Andy Goldsworthy'. We were inspired to create our own pictures using natural materials. I am sure you will all agree that they look fabulous. I think we have lots of budding artists!

This is just a small snapshot of some of the things that we have done this term. I can't quite believe that we are at the end of another academic year. As always it has been a pleasure to get to know and teach your children this year and I wish them every success as they start Year One. Happy Holidays!
