This week we have been lucky enough to have a policeman visit our children. They were able to learn more about what the police do for their role. The children were excited to tell him all about what crimes had been occurring in our classrooms and he then told them what the police have to do to investigate crimes such as those. They looked at all the equipment policeman have to carry and went inside the police van.

The children then put this all into role in their play as they made their own police hats, handcuffs, took each others fingerprints and even questioned one another on whether they had created the mess in our classroom.

We also had a visit to Waterlooville Library where the children were introduced to how to find books around the library and enjoyed listening to some stories. A huge thank you to all the parents/grandparents that helped out with walking there. Very much appreciated to ensure our trip was able to go ahead.

We have also been learning about the number 7- how to make it and one more and one less than 7. Please practise this with your child at home. Any learning will be great to see on Tapestry.

Please continue to practise the Super 6 words with your child as well as all the phase 2 sounds encouraging your child to make cvc words for example cat.

Hope you have a restful weekend.

From the Year R team.
