 If you set up a Childcare or Support Bubble, please can you let us know.

Playhouse Activities This Week – This week we have been learning about Diwali the Festival of Lights. Our very own Helpston shop has been extremely busy with lots of customers and staff the children have really taken on the roles.

Playhouse Activities Next Week – Next week is Road Safety week. We will be talking and doing various activities about road safety.

Christmas Carols – These will be on the 16th December 10:00 via Zoom. We would still like to enjoy some of the activities we carry out at Christmas, but they will just be a little different this year. If you would like to join us virtually please let us know by email by the 9th December 2020.

Sound of the Week – Our sound of the Week will be ‘r’. We will use resources from the playhouse as we are not yet able to accept items from home.

Literacy – We have added a few attachments this week from the Literacy Trust, Peterborough Reads & Hungry Little Minds. There are some great activities for you and your child so please take a look and we will be sending home some information too.

Have a lovely weekend and stay safe.
Kind regards

The Playhouse Team
