Dear Parents / Carers

We would like to wish you all a very Happy New Year!

Playhouse Activities This Week – This week we have enjoyed listening to the children telling us all about their magical Christmas experiences and favourite presents!   We have enjoyed exploring balancing and the children made a wonderful obstacle course; they also enjoyed using balancing boards! It was so tricky, they were very brave!

Playhouse Activities Next Week – Next week, we will be making a lovely group fruit salad, which the children will take part in preparing it. They will explore and try an assortment of fruit.
The children will also be painting self-portraits and we will be looking at how we are all different, wonderful, and unique! We will be noticing different eye colours, hair and more!

Forest school next week –
We will be outside doing lots of exciting forest school activities, please ensure your child has a pair of named wellies and as the weather is colder, please wrap up your child in lots of warm clothes; a warm coat, hat, gloves, and scarf would be perfect  . We would love to be outside for as long as we can, the children learn so much from nature, with lots of layers we will be prepared for any weather!  .
