Week commencing 02/12/2024:

Our theme this week was 'Winter Wonderland continued'. The children have sparkled with snowflakes, impressed with paper chains and surprised with their stockings. All this was done in a beautiful effort to decorate the tree that we have put up. They have also done reams of colouring of all sorts of wintery delights. Earlier in the week they also made pictures of polar bears and reindeer.

Our theme for the next two weeks until the end of this term will, unsurprisingly, be 'Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas'. We hope you enjoy the crafts that are brought home and that the children will have a great time.

Apologies for the long delay between updates, we have been trying to keep you as up to date as possible. Now that Lynda has come back we will hopefully be able to keep these posts as regular as possible in order to keep you as in the loop about what your children are up to.

Our theme this week has been Fireworks and the children have really enjoyed designing their own fireworks, doing firework puzzles and drawing their own fun things. They have also enjoyed the time we manage to get on the field, unfortunately reducing since the clocks went back. Next week our theme will be Going into the Jungle.

First Update of the Year.

We have had a very busy start to the year. Everyone has started so well, enjoying the activities that have been available to them.

Most of our activities have been on the beach theme. In particular, making and designing beach accessories. Some children have also enjoyed being able to get on the field. Since Monday we have been able to play every day for at least a small part.

Yesterday we had a great time racing and playing basketball. Our resident experts impressed. Using the new hoops has been a real highlight.

Lots of changes have been upon us. Yet it has been an enjoyable week. Next week's theme will be princesses and paw patrol. Don't miss out. And we hope you have fun.

Looking forward to the new children starting from Amber class next week and we hope you have a relaxing weekend,
