   Learning Through Play Every Day!

   Busy Bee Time - Learning Through Play!

The children love choosing their own ways to learn, explore and challenge themselves- and so do we!

Next Term's Topic

Keep on practising these at home. Watch out for those red tricky words! Remember you can't sound them out! 

Magical Maths

Next half term in maths we are focusing on:

*addition        *number bonds        *2d and 3d shapes  

Ask your child's teacher for ideas to support this at home.

    Getting Ready to Write

The children are practising how to hold their pencil correctly.

This is how we practise holding our pencil here at Leesland...

Try this little trick at home to help with pencil grip. Place a pom pom in your child's hand and get them to grip it with their two fingers - whilst holding their pencil!
