This week there is peace in the setting as we have no escapees. The children are still interested in the Gingerbread Man saga so we have extended their ideas and they have produced some great writing relating to the events of last week.
 We have started looking at how to look after pets at home and on farms. The children have been able to clearly demonstrate their understanding of the importance of caring for pets. We are going to continue with this topic over the next couple of weeks. If you have a pet at home could you please send in a photograph or email one to me so that we can share them with the group.
I am sure you are all aware that the children are getting good at washing their hands. We have told them to sing Happy Birthday twice as they do it. It has been quite funny walking past the bathroom as all of the children sing it aloud  at different times. I have to say that they are getting very good with their technique of washing and have listened carefully to what they need to do to protect themselves from all germs.
On Thursday it was World Book Day and the children had a great day dressed in their favourite characters. Enjoying and sharing books is such an important part of a child's development and the children spent the day sharing their favourite books with each other.
Have a great weekend.
