Warleigh Lodge Farm Trip
This month our pre-school school leavers had a fantastic trip to Warleigh Lodge farm.
The children all had a fantastic day. They were able to feed animals such as the lambs, cows and goats! They saw the Peter Rabbit tree which they all climbed through, not to mention the amazing tractor ride through the fields!
The sun shone down on us all day and we took home some extremely happy children.
Thank you to all the members of staff who helped and all the parents who re-arranged their child's day so that they could attend!
Also, a huge thank you to Warleigh Lodge Farm for a lovely day and such a warm welcome as per usual.
Please have a look through the photographs above. We also have lots more pictures on our 'Atworth photo's' page.
Jack and the beanstalk arrives in Atworth
This month our story of the month is Jack and the Beanstalk. We have gone Jack and the beanstalk crazy at the nursery with beanstalks growing in the rooms, beanstalks growing in the gardens and even giants coming to visit the children!
Please feel free to come in and see our beanstalks that have grown.
Also, this month's theme is Expressive Arts & Design. This means that we will be getting extra creative with all art mediums. Think texture, colour, mess and noise. Lots of fun all round!
