This week, we will introduce the question word,'when?' We will also learn the sign for 'peace'.
Let's Wake Up and Shake Up
Get Ready to Shake with our FS1 teachers this morning!
Peace Week
Guidance- English
This week the world is celebrating the International Day of Peace. This is a special day to think about the things that help us to feel safe, calm and happy. It’s also a time to think about ways that we can help others and the world around us to feel safe, calm and happy, too.
We wonder if you know what the word peace means? Have you heard that word before? We think that when we are peaceful, we are calm and content. We are happy with the people and things around us. This week we will be finding our own definitions for peace as we explore Todd Parr’s The Peace Book. It is a beautiful book that gives so many examples of ways to find peace in our lives. Each day we will explore one of Todd Parr’s peaceful examples. You can choose to join in with our peaceful play, or choose your own ways to find peace in your homes.
When I think about people I love I feel peace.
Many of us are lucky to live nearby lots of the people that we love. But, you may have some special people that live far away. Today, you might like to make a card or a gift to send to someone you’re missing. Receiving something special from a person you love is a wonderful feeling! We are sure anything you send will be smiles and peace to your loved ones!

Let's Explore The Moon
Guidance- English
Let’s be explorers and visit the moon. By using a dice you will practice moving your body in different ways. Follow the key below to move around the moon like a true astronaut. Try and complete all the numbers on the dice. If you get a number more than once, continue to perform the movement. Have fun!
In your Resource Pack, you will have noticed a large art book. This is your child's 'Me and My World Book'.
Guidance- English
Research into communication, language and emotional development tells us that young children need opportunities to talk about and share their interests and family life with others. Once back in school, this book will help to create a sense of belonging and will encourage children to talk to their friends and teachers.
This book will come home from school many times throughout the year to be updated.
What we would like you to do now:
As this is a prompt for talk, we would like you to help your child to include some of the following:
Photographs of family members and other special people
Particular interests and hobbies
Holiday photographs
Special events (cultural or family celebrations)
Pets
Favourite foods
Favourite music, TV shows, toys, characters etc..
You do not need to print everything. Children can draw their favourite things or cut out snippets from magazines or leaflets. Your child can decorate the front cover of their book anyway they wish!
We suggest, that at this time, you don’t use more than 4 or 5 pages. This will ensure there is plenty of space for your child to add and reflect upon their experiences and interests throughout the rest of the school year.
Enjoy starting to create this special book together!
To see how powerful the 'Me and My World Book' can be in supporting and prompting communication, watch the way these students engage over some family photos:
