You don’t need to use puppets to have fun with a puppet theatre as this group showed recently. It just took one little confident performer to take to the stage and quickly seats were gathered for an audience and the children were taking turns to perform in their little theatre. It’s great to see that the children’s confidence is growing to sing or say a rhyme in front of an audience. We love these impromptu performances.

Very well done to our most recent award winners. We are very proud of you and hope that you keep up the great work.
Enrolment
Wednesday and Thursday (27th and 28th February) of this week are enrolment days for children who will attend Nursery in the next academic year. As well as new children, current children returning to Nursery next year will also need to complete a new enrolment form.
Please come along to the school office with your child’s birth certificate and proof of address to complete an enrolment form. Please check the name of your Health Visitor, if you are unsure, as you will need this as part of the enrolment process.
Rainbow Pet Shop
It’s been all go in the Rainbow Room’s pet shop in the past week or two. The children decided what kind of shop they would like and, as this was the most popular choice, they discussed what we needed to make a good pet shop. They certainly came up with lots of great suggestions and everyone has loved visiting it.
Chinese Dining
Our role play areas change according to our children’s interests and the recent enthusiasm for learning about Chinese New Year led to the Raindrop Room having a Chinese restaurant. There were some great meals served up and lots of diners calling in to enjoy them.

Book Fair
We would like to remind you that the Scholastic Book Fair is in school this week beginning 25th February.
Messy Play
Jacob’s family liked the photo of him playing outdoors:
“He could play with sand, water or mud all day if he got the chance, he loves messy play like this.”
It’s certainly great fun playing outdoors and so many children do enjoy messy play, whether indoors or out.
Yoga Moves
This term some of the children having been joining in with yoga sessions with Mrs. Foster, our P.E. teacher. As you can see, this involves good balancing skills, flexibility and concentration. This little group certainly look as if they are working very hard at their yoga and Mrs. Foster was very impressed with their work.
Training Days
We would like to remind everyone that there will be no Nursery for the children on Thursday and Friday of this week due to training days for staff. We hope that you all enjoy a few days off and look forward to seeing you on Monday 25th February.
