It is forecast to be a nice day and we are playing out in the garden.   Last week we had a really great time outside – we found a frog, did lots of climbing and built amazing things with tyres and sticks.  We have been aboard our currently unnamed boat, and it is really great for climbing, jumping and imaginative play.  We would be very grateful if you would enter our NAME THE BOAT Competition, to give our boat a name.  There is a box for suggestions in the hall and entries cost £2 each – all proceeds go to the renovation of our playboat!!  The winner will get to officially launch our boat and unveil their chosen name!!

We also have a wonderful new sofa in the book corner – thanks to Laura, Charlie’s mum, who very kindly gave us a really solid, immaculate leather sofa.  Thanks to, to Eric and his friend, who Emile calls Coco Bee, for bring it from Charlie’s house to our nursery.  It was a tough job as it is very big, and heavy, and comfortable!!  We are looking forward to lots of snuggly stories in the book corner!

Eric and Richard also worked incredibly hard last weekend, chopping down the trees which were blocking all the light from our nursery playrooms.  It has made an amazing difference and we now have lots of big logs to use as stepping stones and building materials.  Many, many thanks for all your hard work Eric – you are an absolute star!!

This week we are starting on Monday with SFA football coaching for our pre-school children. Wednesday is gym day for our morning Orange and Red Groups and our afternoon sessional children.

On Friday we are meeting Twiggle and his friends again,  for more fun chat about how to manage our emotions, in another PAThS session.
