Rhyme And Story Time
Tomorrow is Tuesday so it must be time for our Rhyme and Story Family Learning session again. Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, has been enjoying working with some of our families and would be happy to have more join her at 9.00 or 12.15 each Tuesday. Here is a little snapshot of the activities they enjoyed the last time they met.

“I’m A Little Teapot” Snack
As a celebration of World Nursery Rhyme Week, we held an “I’m a Little Teapot” snack time for our families and it was lovely to have so many parents, grandparents and younger brothers and sisters joining us. As well as a tasty pancake and fruit snack, the children enjoyed some drawing activities at the tables and everyone joined in when we sang “Five Currant Buns” and “I’m a Little Teapot” as our focus rhymes.
Thank you so much for joining us and for your feedback. It seems like this is something that everyone would like to do again so we will keep that in mind when working together with Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, to plan future activities. Thank you to all those who attended for making this a happy event for the children and thanks, as always, to Eileen for organising such a super event. Here is a gallery of our morning snack time. We will post photos from the afternoon soon.
Word Of The Week
Our “Word of the Week” this week is actually two words. We will be learning about our new weather recording equipment so this week we will be finding out about what a rain gauge is.
Family Learning Story Time
Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, sent us photos from today’s family activity, saying “We had lots of fun today at our elephant themed story/rhyme time.”
This looks like great fun. Please remember that all are welcome every Tuesday from 9.00 until 9.45 or 12.15 until 1.00, including younger brothers and sisters. Eileen hopes to see you there soon.
Pumpkin Investigation
It wouldn’t be Hallowe’en without investigating a pumpkin and some of the children had a busy time last week emptying the flesh and seeds from their pumpkin. Both morning and afternoon children had a great experience investigating what they found inside their pumpkin, discussing safety around sharp knives, counting seeds and talking about how to describe what they could see and feel. Great fun was then had decorating their empty lanterns. It’s amazing the learning you can have from one simple pumpkin.
Word Of The Week
Our “Word of the Week” for this week is safe as we talk about Bonfire Night, fireworks and staying safe near a fire.
