Isaac and his Mummy enjoyed the visit to the police station:
“We had a great time at the police station. Isaac especially liked switching the sirens on and off in the van.”
Those sirens and the blue lights were very popular!
Lots of Fun
Olivia’s Mummy has been looking at our photos of the children practising for today’s Fun Activity Day:
“I have loved hearing about your fun activity day from Olivia and she has been practising with her daddy!! It sounds lots of fun! Unfortunately I am working tomorrow but looking forward to seeing all the photographs. I am sure all the boys and girls will have a fab day and I will cross my fingers for some sunshine! :)”
Let’s hope the rain stays away all day so that we can enjoy all our activities.
Fun Activity Day
The children have been practising their running and jumping skills to prepare for our Fun Activity Day tomorrow (Wednesday). They have grown in confidence, shown good teamwork and had great fun. We are looking forward to lots of families and friends cheering the children on as they show you what they can do. We hope to bring the children on to the field around 9.30 and 2.00 when they will start moving round their activities in groups. Fingers crossed that the sun decides to shine tomorrow.
The Solihull Approach
I have added useful reading and information for parents on The Solihull Approach which is all about the health and wellbeing of our children. Here you can access a range of leaflets on topics such as developmental and emotional milestones, play and brain development through childhood which can help you to understand and support your child’s behaviour.
Click on the links on the right entitled “Solihull Approach Parenting Skills” and “Solihull Approach Understanding Childhood” which can be found under “Useful Reading”. We hope that you find this information helpful.
Cocoons
Our little caterpillars have been so busy munching away on their food, carefully watched by the excited Nursery boys and girls, that they are now at the stage of cocoons. Today they were transferred to their nets and we hope that beautiful butterflies will emerge in a week or two. If you ask the children, they will be able to show you the cocoons and tell you all about them.
Wonderful Trip
Paulina’s Mum left a comment about our visit to the police station:
“Thank you I could be a part of this wonderful trip to the police. It was very lovely time with children. Monika (Paulina’s mum)”
Thank you very much for coming with us. We couldn’t manage trips out to our community without all our parent helpers.
Afternoon Visit to the Police Station
The Rainbow Room afternoon children showed great enthusiasm on their recent visit to the police station and enjoyed finding out all about a police officer’s job. Just like the morning children, they behaved beautifully and made us very proud of them all. Thank you again to those parents who helped to make this visit possible and to the staff at the police station who gave up their valuable time.

Little Stars
Here are the little stars from last week who were given certificates for their achievements. Well done everyone!
Police Visit
Thom’s family has been looking at our photos at the police station:
“We had a fabulous time at the police station, so pleased i could come along too. Thom liked the handcuffs best, he was amazed the Policeman let us look at them! All the Staff were brilliant with the children. Thom has been looking out for the cctv cameras in town and waving at the police!”
Thanks for helping us that day – it’s always lovely to have parents with us. There seemed to be a few children who enjoyed trying out the handcuffs. I wonder if the police officers have seen you waving Thom? I’m sure it will make their day if they do.
Police Station Visit
After a postponed visit last term, the Rainbow Room managed to get their visit to the police station last week as part of learning about our community. Everyone enjoyed watching life on the High Street through the CCTV cameras, had a good look in the cells, where some tried out the sleeping arrangements, and round the various areas of the police station. The police vans and cars provided great excitement especially once we were able to try out the sirens and blue flashing lights. As you can see, some of the children even had a little turn with the handcuffs.
Thank you so much to all the staff for showing such patience with the children and giving up their precious time. Thanks also to those parents who accompanied us on our outing. We all had a great visit. Here are the morning children on their visit. We will post photos of the afternoon children soon.
