January 2020
Happy New Year!
Welcome to 2020!
We’ve kicked started the new year with focusing on our story of the month, The tiger who came to tea. The children have been getting up to all sorts of creative activities, storytelling, and recreating our own tea party in Toddlers!
Sunshine circles….In the January sun!
The Pre-school children had a lovely afternoon in the sun taking part in sunshine circles. Sunshine Circles is an interactive circle time that creates an atmosphere of fun, caring, acceptance and encouragement that leads to development in personal, social and emotional.
We also encourage the three rules of Sunshine Circles… No Hurts, Stick Together and Have Fun!
Forest School is underway! To start 2020 we have practiced using tools such as a bow saw and a drill to make medals. They also explored clay, charcoal and home made paints. Even rain didn’t stop us from great fun!
We’re Outstandingly GOOD!
