The remainder of the term

We shall inform you of the dates once we have confirmation.

They will be using descriptive language in a lost and found game, discussing dangers and learning about road safety. We will be looking at the lives of Mountain Rescue teams, Life Boat Crew and Air Sea Rescue.

Chinese New Year
This falls on Saturday 28th January and is the year of the Rooster. The children will be looking at the lives of children in China.
Other information
Show and tell for Hedgehogs, Rabbits and Badger children will be on a Wednesday. Children’s observation and assessment records are accessible in the boxes in the main room (near to the main door). Please feel free to look at your child’s folder and contribute to their assessments and observations.
Please ensure that lunches, bags and belongings are labeled with your child’s name to prevent any confusion.
Finally a reminder that the gate needs the chain hooked over the second spike and the front door needs to be kept closed at all times to ensure the children’s safety.

Thankyou,
