July 2018
A Giant Visitor
Last month the children were so excited to discover that during the night a Giant had been through nursery leaving a trail of destruction, knocking over chairs and leaving some very large muddy footprints. He had also lost one Giant sized shoe and a pocket watch. They loved discovering what else he had been up to while no one was here and had great fun creating their own role play stories to continue the theme, as well as having a go at some observational drawings of beanstalks. Also following our Jack and the Beanstalk story were our toddler children who measured themselves against the beanstalk and created their own magic beans.
Betty's Fundraising
Betty is one of our Puffin (Preschool) children and has made the decision to have her very long hair cut off and will be donating it to The Little Princess Trust. This is a charity that creates free wigs for children and young adults who have sadly lost their own hair due to cancer treatment and other illnesses. Betty is having her hair cut on August 20th 2018, if you would like to sponsor her please go to her just giving page https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/bettyhaircut any donations are hugely appreciated and will make all the difference.
