A huge thank you goes to Theo’s mummy (Honeycomb) as this week the children celebrated Chinese New Year, sampling food which she had so kindly prepared and which they thoroughly enjoyed. Some of the children made a good attempt with chopsticks whilst others used spoons or forks. They enjoyed some YouTube footage of the New Year celebrations and talked about the Chinese New Year story of the animals with particular reference to the year of the rat. Lovely paintings were created by using chopsticks as the 'mark making' tools, as well as small puppet dragons.

The fire drill on Tuesday showed how well your children can manage changes in routine and listen to and follow instructions.

We hosted our Open Day yesterday and many thanks for your recommendations with a big thank you to all the children who welcomed the visitors into their rooms, demonstrating their confidence, social skills and abilities in a wonderful way.

The Nursery rooms have been learning about their families and I am sure that you will enjoy the lovely display boards which have been created with your children’s work.

Transition children have been talking about friendships; what makes a good friend, what they like about their friends and how to make friends.
