November 2021
Babies all dressed up for our Spooky Spark Day!
We can’t believe we are nearly at the end of November, and December is round the corner!
We have had an action packed few weeks; hosting our Spooky Spark day, having Dinosaurs in for a visit, talking about Remembrance and making smores on the fire!
Thank you so much to all parents who were able to attend our Spooky Spark evening and were able to make smores on the fire at collection. It was so lovely to have parents back in again for an event, even if it is was more scaled back than usual. All the rooms made their own Halloween scarecrows that we went round the nursery to find in the morning. The kitchen also made use a special spooky themed menu!
Thank you also to all families who have helped with our recent fundraising. We have managed to raise £97 for Breast Cancer when we wore pyjamas for the day, and last Friday we raised a MASSIVE £166 for Children in Need from our bake sale. Thank you all so much for your continued support and for everyone who took the time to bake and buy a treat!
We were also lucky to have Kitty’s Mum, who works for different Museums, come in and visit us. She had kindly borrowed some amazing fossils and dinosaur figures from the Somerset Museum and came in and talked to the children all about them.
We looked at the importance of Remembrance, and at photos of poppies and used these to inspire our own pictures. We even created our own stickers, and looked at Sir Captain Tom Moore and all the things he had done in his lifetime.

Pre-school enjoyed a visit from ZooLab who brought in lots of unusual animals for us to hold.
