Hi everyone,

Welcome back, we hope you have all had a lovely and relaxing Christmas break. The children came into school beaming and full of smiles. They were excited to see us and so were we! It has been a busy week settling back into routines of school life.

We started the week with a great exploration session using pans, wooden spoons and dried pasta in a tuff tray. We also had edible paint but the children all chose the pasta! Some children chose to make drums out of the pans and wooden spoons while another banged the tuff tray to watch the pasta jump into the air. They were copying, exploring and very engaged!

We have been working extremely hard on our physical and communication skills. Lucas received our certificate for crawling for the first time on the trampoline!

We have also began to introduce our new classroom area – the rain forest!  We had an excellent music session, singing songs about the jungle and banging the drum fast or slow. Children were learning to ask for more or use our core vocabulary asking for fast or slow.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Many thanks,

Jess, Michele, Corrie, Lindsay and Alyson
