Half Term Project Details and Homework Ideas 

Summer 1 – Do cows drink milk?

The new project will run for the first half of the Summer Term. Homework contributions can be made throughout the half term, please make sure your child brings in something that they have worked on at home by FRIDAY 17th MAY 2024.  

Old Macdonald had a farm, e-i-e-i-o! Do cows drink milk? What are baby pigs called? It’s time to find out more about life on the farm and the animals that live there. 

For your child’s homework they can pick one of the following to complete: 

• Farms are fantastic! Why not explore your kitchen cupboards together and talk about where different foods come from? 

• Draw pictures of your favourite farm animal 

• Draw a picture of a tractor 

• Plant a seed and take pictures as it grows 

• Find out facts on your favourite farm animals 

• Or create something farm themed that they are interested in.  

We will be displaying all of the children's work in the classroom.

Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing your creations 

We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum which uses continuous play and exploration to learn. Adults plan both adult led and child initiated activities that enable the children to develop social skills, self confidence and independence in a range of contexts.   

Please remember to bring:

Please see below the Powerpoint shared during the induction session.
