Dear Parents & Carers,

Children in EYFS have made a fantastic start to the new half term and there has been a purposeful working atmosphere in all of our Reception classes.  This half term will be busy with lots of exciting events such as swimming and sports day.  We will also begin the preparations for the transition to Year One, with three afternoons in Year One planned.  Further details about this will be sent out shortly.

Our final topic of the year will be Transport.  We will be learning about transport today and in the past.  We will also be looking at how Cottenham has changed in the last two centuries.  Our Talk for Writing text is 'The Dinosaur's Day Out' by Nick Sharratt.  This lovely book is sadly out of print, but there are still second hand copies available for a reasonable price online for those of you who are interested.  The Curriculum Map will be sent to you and it is also available below.

Dates for your diary:

4th July 9:00 am EYFS Sports Day

12th July EYFS PTCA Sponsored Swim

14th July Summer Fair

More details about these events will be released in due course.

Kind regards,

Lucy James
