Nursery Library
This is just a reminder to all parents and carers that the Nursery library is open weekly. The Rainbow Room can access the library every Wednesday 9.00 – 9.15 and the Raindrop Room on a Thursday at the same times. If your child is not in Nursery at these times, please speak to staff and we can arrange books to be changed at a different time.
We hope that all children who borrow books are enjoying reading stories to their adopted teddy bears. We still have lots of bears who would love a new home full of lots of cuddles and stories. We look forward to seeing you all at the library this week.
Word Of The Week
In the Rainbow Room our “Word of the Week” focus will be on ‘healthy’ while the Raindrop Room will be looking at ‘history’.

What Would You Do If You Were Given A Dragon For Your Birthday?

What Is Jack Frost Like?
As part of their discussions about the changing season, the children in the Rainbow Room discussed what Jack Frost might look like.
Alfie H.: he looks like toast. He lives in a gingerbread house and eats cookies.

Tom: Jack Frost is kind of icy. He lives in an ice house. He eats ice sandwiches.
Layla: Jack Frost eats ham sandwiches.
Jackson: he is snowy. I saw him in my garden, it was all white. He lives in the North Pole because it’s nice and cold and freezing. He eats pizza.
Millie: he likes to eat water melon.
Skye C.: he has spikes and lives in a Christmas house and eats sausages.
Jessica: Jack Frost lives in an old house with spiders and a spooky man. He eats bananas.
Sophie G.: Jack Frost looks cold as he hasn’t got any clothes on. He lives in a little cottage and eats crisps.
Leigha: he looks like snow. He lives in Annan. He eats apples.
