‘Yucky Worms’ This week room 2 learnt that worms are actually more important for our earth than we think, they help our flowers to grow and they are quiet magic that they can rebuild their own tailend. We ventured to the Natural garden area to dig some worms of our own and made them a wormery. We compared sizes and talked about being gentle with the worms. ... See MoreSee Less

Our story of the week is ‘The Tiger Who Came to Tea’. Sophie, goes to a cafe for tea after the tiger eats all of the food in her house, so we decided in room 1 that we would go into the village to look at the cafes and shops along the high street. Special thanks to both The Blue Dragonfly Tea Room and TinJug for our lovely drinks of orange juice 🐯The children developed lots of skills and experiences on these trips, from counting to climbing steps, exchanging money and sitting with our friends at the tea rooms. We then continued our walk round the village to the Spar shop and co-op where we browsed the aisles to see if they had any tins of tiger food. ... See MoreSee Less

Tossing scarves back-and-forth develops our fine motor skills, helping develop our early writing development. Using scarves to hide objects helps us develop focus and memory skills.

We would just like to take this opportunity to say thank you for all the support you have given F over the years.  He has had a wonderful time and he has made some lovely friendships. The Leaver’s Assembly today was just super, the children were all so engaged and happy – a real joy to see.  It was lovely to see F on the stage.  I can appreciate all the hours it took to produce a performance like that and it was a real pleasure to watch.

C has settled in well to Room 1 and enjoys attending pre-school.  Staff make every effort to make C’s time there special and he has come home with certificates with his favourite superheroes which  was a lovely touch.  I feel that staff know C well and have been great helping him with his development and things like potty training.
