Spooktacular Halloween Fun!
Throughout the nursery we have been having lots and lots of fun over the Halloween period. The children have loved being creative and carving pumpkins!
Babies, Toddlers and Preschool have all been showing off their artistic skills. They have all made some wonderful decorations for their halloween parties.
There have also been lots of other amazing Halloween activities happening.
We have had lovely storytimes, experimental potion making and a creepy crawlies hunt.
Not to mention some fantastic costumes for our Halloween parties!
Thank you to everyone that joined in with our Hello Yellow day for World Mental Health Day.
This month we had a very special visit from Avon and Somerset Police.
The children were able to explore the inside of their van, see the flashing lights, hear the sirens and even try on the police hats!
Congratulations…
We would like to wish a very well done to Emma, Beth A and Nick who have all qualified to Level 3 this month!
Another huge congratulations to Nick.
Not only has he completed his Level 3 apprenticeship, he has won the“Early Years Apprentice of the Year” award from Lifetime learner achievement awards!
