Next week, the big idea question from our 'Long Ago' topic is:

• How have I changed?

We will be talking to the children about how they have changed from when they were a baby/younger and things they can do now that they couldn't before. We will be having a show and tell session with baby Rex and seeing what he can/cannot yet do. 
Here are the texts that we are sharing to help get this conversation started:

• Please could you send in a couple of photos of your children growing up (baby and toddler) on tapestry before Monday - this will help bring our topic to life! We will be using these for lots of activities over the week.
• Big thank you to everyone who sent in half-term photos-the children loved sharing these with their friends.
• Please remember to sign your children's reading diaries when they have read at home - this could be sharing a bedtime story, playing a game with their speed sound cards or even making up a story together. The school expectation is to read at least three times a week - and help children get along the way to their bronze reading award.
