Despite chilly weather, all our children walked to the war memorial today for Remembrance Day. They behaved beautifully and we were very proud of them standing quietly for the little service and the silence. Each room had made two wreaths which were laid at the foot of the war memorial so you may see them if you are on the High Street. Thank you to all our children for making us feel so proud of you.

Rhymes And Stories
The theme at Thursday’s “Rhyme and Story” session was spiders. Parents and children enjoyed sharing words beginning with S, listening to a special Incy Wincey spider story, singing/saying spider rhymes and bouncing our spider puppets on our lycra ‘parachute’.
These sessions for Nursery families are run by Mrs. Eileen Johnstone, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, and Mrs. Jen Carruthers, Nursery Nurse, who welcome younger siblings too. Please see staff for details if you would like to join them.
Library Day
Congratulations
Very well done to these recent award winners. We are so proud of you both.
Word Of The Week
“Emotions” is Word of the Week for the Raindrop Room this week while the Rainbow Room will focus on “floating” and “sinking”.
Firework Display
Glitter, ribbon, paint, glue … the full range of resources in the art area seemed to be in action when the children in the Raindrop Room created their firework display. We hope that you have been enjoying looking at their work in the cloakroom area.
Hammers, Nails And Wood
Hammers, nails and wood provide great opportunities for the children to develop their skills in Technologies and they show themselves to be great learners whether indoors or out. You can see from these photos that their focus and attention is impressive as they work safely and confidently with the tools. The children are rightly proud that they are carrying out what they consider an adult task and are developing confidence to consider this as a possible area of work in the future.
Thank You Mr. Irving
The children in the Rainbow Room enjoyed the visit by Mr. Irving, from the fire service, just as much as those in the Raindrop Room and were particularly interested in his equipment. Thank you so much to Mr. Irving for taking the time to visit us to talk about fire safety.
Staying Safe
We would like to say a huge thank you to Mr. Irving from the fire service who came in on Guy Fawkes Day to talk to the children about his job and staying safe near fire. He very kindly brought the fire car along with him and some little uniforms for the children to try out so they certainly had an exciting morning. We were pleased to hear that Mr. Irving was impressed with the children’s knowledge about safety. I wonder if they can tell their families at home about how to stay safe near fire?
Firework Art
With all the excitement of Bonfire Night, the children were keen to create their own firework art using a range of resources. There was paint and glitter everywhere but we love the children’s work. Here is a gallery from the Rainbow Room where the children’s work is now displayed for everyone to see.
