Musical Visitors
Some of our children enjoyed a performance on Friday by a harpist and a saxophonist in the school hall. This was a wonderful opportunity for them to hear a performance by very talented musicians and we would like to thank Oliver and Hugh for this fantastic experience. Your performance had a genuine impact on our children.
Award Winner
Huge congratulations go to last week’s award winner. We feel sure that your family must be very proud of you.
Tom’s Shells
We would like to thank Tom’s family for bringing in lots of beautiful shells for the children to decorate. Many of the children in the Rainbow Room have had great fun designing their shells which we hope to display in the outdoor area. Thank you for your kind gift. We hope that you are pleased with the children’s efforts.
Winter
The children in the Raindrop Room have been experimenting with a range of resources in the Art and Craft area to create winter pictures. I wonder if anyone can spot their work?
PEEP
We would like to remind you that Eileen, our Lifelong learning Co-ordinator, will be starting her PEEP sessions tomorrow, 16th January, between 9.00 and 10.00. She looks forward to seeing you then. Younger siblings are welcome.
Winter Trees
We are spending time discussing the changing season and what the signs of winter are. As part of this discussion, some of the children in the Rainbow Room created some beautiful artwork depicting trees in winter. Have a look on the wall in Nursery at the children’s beautiful display.
Sharing
The children in the Rainbow Room have been talking about sharing – who they share with, what they share and what they do not like about sharing. We would like to share some of their thoughts.
Primrose: I share with my sister. We share dolls.
Berrie: I share with Frankie. I don’t like to share my Barbies because she doesn’t share hers.
Layla: I share my ‘Greedy Granny’ game with Mummy and Daddy.
Euan: I share with Arthur and Isaac.
Maja: I share with Olivia at the shops.
Poppy: I share my cars with Alfie.
Zack: I share my bike with Kaius and Isaac.
Freddie: I share toys in Nursery with Tom and Jackson.
Sophie G.: I share with Belle. I share Mack and Tombliboo.

Word Of The Week
The Raindrop Room has chosen ‘rules’ as their “Word of the Week” as they help our new children to settle in and understand our expectations and routines. The Rainbow Room will be focussing on the word ‘winter’ as they talk about the changing season.
