Postcard Penguin On Holiday Early Years Literacy Children pretend to either be Penguin or Crab. They write a postcard to their friend talking about their holiday.

Queen’s Jubilee We were learning about money. We linked it to the Queen’s Jubilee. The children need to match the value of the stamp to the correct postcard. e.g. Miss West’s stamp is 19p. Can you find 19p? Can you make 10p using coins? How many ways can you make 19p? We used this in the provision whilst learning about the Jubilee. Then we wrote our own postcards about what we enjoyed during the Jubilee celebration.
