Easter Fun
On Thursday 24th March 2016, we will be having a little Easter celebration. There will be an Easter egg hunt in the garden, an Easter bonnet/hat parade along with a visit from a very large hoping rabbit.
Each child has been given an Easter Egg to colour in to take part in a competition from Davidsons Animal Feeds, who are this year going to supply chocolate eggs for all the children.
All completed sheets should be returned to your child’s key worker before Friday 18th March 2016. Good luck everyone as there is a special prize in store.

What great fun we all had at Rhyme Time, learning our rhyme and making the fish bounce and swim on the stretchy blanket. The children and parents got very excited when it was their turn to be a fish and created a little wiggle, wiggle as they pretended to swim before going on to make their own sparkly fish to take home. To compliment our rhyme this week the lovely Jen created a fantastic snack for us with our very own swimming fish and numbered cold meats and cheese. Thank you again to everyone who came along to join in learning together.
Rainbow Room
It’s been great getting outside again in a more regular basis. The children have had so much fun exploring the mud kitchen and splash zone again. Indoors they have been keen to show off their building skills using lots of different materials just look at the concentration on their little faces they have been so proud of themselves.

Early Level Learning
Children are continuing to learn how to develop their mark making and letter formation skills through the context of pets. The newly developed pet shop will be opening on Monday and it would be lovely to see any photographs of your family pets and welcome any visits from them.
Nurturing Early Readers
The children will be exploring these exciting stories during Nurturing Early Readers over the next couple of weeks. They will be looking at the different characters, setting and problems within each story. Why not ask your child to share elements of the story with you.
