Welcome back to a very short week. The children were very keen to be back and it has been a pleasure to watch  them fit back into their routines and relationships. We have decided to change our fruit and milk system and we now have a café. The children take it in turns to be shopkeepers who take money for the fruit and milk and then serve the children. At the end of the day we  have 2 accountants that count the money and record the amount then and take the money to the banker who writes out a receipt. This is a brilliant way to engage the children with money and allows them to practise using it  in a purposeful way. When we discussed money with the children and asked them how we pay for things they all said with a card. We sometimes forget that children don't often come into contact with cash so this activity will give them a hands on experience in a fun way.
Next week we would like to continue with our wood walk. Please come along if you can spare the time. I hope that the weather continues to improve and the children can enjoy the outside without coats.
Have a great weekend.
