Quite a changeable week in regards to the weather.  As ever though, this hasn’t stopped us and we have made the most of both in and outdoor exploration this week.  The excess amount of water has given the children the chance to work out ways to transport water from one place to another using all the resources available to them.  It was lovely to see the myriad of approaches and the tenacity shown to make things work!

This week has had a science theme.  The classic story Funnybones has sparked the children’s curiosity and we have been learning about the bones in our body.  Magnets have been a big part of play this week, the children have been using these and their imaginations to create structures and objects and we have looked at the science behind magnets.  We have also looked at the story of Little Red Riding Hood.

As you my know, parent consultations will be done via a phone call this year due to COVID19 related restrictions.  Nursery’s will take place on Wednesday 15^th October and you can book your preferred timeslot here.  A link to login was emailed to you earlier this week and I can see most of you have already reserved your slot.  If you are having problems using the system, please contact the office and they can add you in manually.

There are occasions where we have had to send your child home in spare school uniforms.  If this does happen, could we ask that you please wash and return those items of clothing as we do rely on having spares in the unit.

Unfortunately, our family picture wall is still looking a little bare.  Thank you to those that have sent pictures in and if you haven't done so, please could you send in a photo of your family to be added to the wall.

One final reminder, if you haven't sent them in already, please could you complete and return the settling in forms that were emailed out to you earlier in the term.

Enjoy your weekend and I'll see you all on Monday.
