Reception
Curriculum Summer Term
|
|
Dear
Parents,
For
the first half of this very long half term we will begin by looking
at Clothes using the book Mrs. Lather's Laundry by Allan Ahlberg as
our stimulus. The
following aspects of the curriculum will also be covered. We always
try to use the children's own interests as a vehicle for
learning. If you could get to a launderette for a look round it
would be great as we are changing our role play areas in a
launderette.
