Homefun Week 11

Getting Ready for Next Term: Could you please send to school: 4 HB pencils, 1 glue stick and a whiteboard marker (the children will be using the whiteboard markers next term and will need 1 each). This week I will collect the children’s homefun books on Thursday so they can take them home over the holidays and learn continue with learning their basic words. These words are high frequency words that the children are exposed to in their reading levels, the more they know the quicker they progress through the levels. 

Writing: This week have your child write about their favourite part of this term. Some of the topics mays include Ambury farm, or presenting their book about the trip at the Celebration Assembly or the Father’s Day Breakfast. Just write about anything they have enjoyed this term.

Our Ambury Farm Park Trip

First we went into the barn and Locke told us all about the farm and the animals.

 

Wow what good 'listening ears' we have.

Next we went to see a cow being milked. Locke squirted some of us with the milk and we got to pat her.

Then we saw two other cows in the yard.

Then off to be shorn.

Now we get to go down the shoot too. 

Later on we looked all over the farm and got to meet all the animals. We also got to meet Baby Goat.
