Kacey’s Mum left a comment about the Hallowe’en party:
“Kacey had great fun at the party despite the fact that she doesn’t like SCARY masks , it was lovely to see all the childrens different costumes,Kacey informs me there were no scary masks only nice ones!!!”
I’m glad that that Kacey thought all the masks were nice. The costumes were great and it’s lovely to talk to the children about what they’re dressed up as.
Thank you to those who have made appointments to chat to staff this week or next. The appointment times are still on display in the cloakroom areas if anyone else would like one. If none of the times offered suit you, please speak to staff and we will arrange an alternative time.
Callum’s family left us a comment on the recent Family Learning activity:
“Callum and Gran really enjoyed the session. The chocolate sparklers went on daddy’s birthday cake and looked really fab. Thank you Eileen.”
That was lucky for Daddy getting something extra special on his cake. Well done Callum and, of course, Gran.
As our learning this week and next is focussed around Bonfire Night and Diwali, Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, organised an activity linked to these celebrations.
As Hindus welcome Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity, into their homes at Diwali, her tiny footprints are found around the house to show her arrival. The children drew round their feet and produced some wonderfully creative and individual designs on their drawings to represent Lakshmi.
They also worked with their families to make chocolate sparklers which seemed to go down just as well as the sparklers at a bonfire.
Thank you to Eileen for providing a super activity that lots of families were able to enjoy and thanks also for offering extra time slots for those who were not able to make the arranged days. We are sure that everyone had a great time and we look forward to the next Family Learning activity.

Callum’s family enjoyed the Hallowe’en party photos:
“Lovely to see all the boys and girls dressed up for Halloween. Looks like a fab time was had by all.”
We did all have a great time and it was lovely to see everyone joining in all the games.
When parents were recently ordering Nursery uniform, we had a query about buying fleeces for Nursery. Although these are not currently available, we could enquire with Carlisle Embroidery if there was sufficient interest. Please mention this to staff if you would be interested and we can look into the possibility of fleeces.
Some of our morning families have been enjoying the Hallowe’en party photos and have posted comments:
“It’s lovely seeing all the fun the children are having at the party. Great outfits and happy smiles.”
“Everyone is having fun!” and “Enjoying the grub! “
The outfits were fantastic and the children certainly seemed to have good fun.
An expert pumpkin carver, in the form of Jade’s Mummy, came in to the Sunshine Room this week to show us her skills. She had already brought two pumpkins for our display but it was great for the children to help her and give her their ideas for a design. As you can see, they were a super help scooping out the seeds and they set her the task of carving a spider in the pumpkin. We think that she did a brilliant job so thank you very much to Jade’s Mummy.
Emma’s family has been looking at our Arcimboldo work where the children used foods to make portraits:
“Looks like Emma’s having fun!! Wonder how much food went missing during this activity hee hee.”
As you can imagine, we needed close supervision in the art area but the children did really respond well to this activity.
Callum’s family left a comment about the children using the cameras:
“Loving Callum’s and all the boys and girl’s camera skills. Callum has asked for a camera of Santa. Happy snapping all.”
The cameras are certainly very popular so maybe Santa will have to get a stock in just in case he gets a few requests.
