Autumn Term
Our topic this half term is
'Out of this world'.
We will be finding out about space, the moon and astronauts.
We will be thinking about how you could travel to the moon, what astronauts wear and if there is life on other planets.
We will be reading 'Whatever Next', 'The Way Back Home', and 'Aliens Love Underpants'.
We had lots of fun when the planetarium came to school. We went on a pretend visit to space and looked at the different stars and constellations!

Reading Packs !
In Foundation Stage we encourage children to take a reading book home each week. This can be read by an adult and children can join in with the words and talk about what is happening in the story and pictures. Red Ladybirds and Blue Dolphins will also bring home a reading book each week which is for them to read to parents and carers.
Books are changed at some point during the week.
Please bring reading packs in every day.
