The team were delighted to meet all the new families at the start of the Autumn term and over the course of their first few weeks with us, the children have gradually settled in and become familiar with our daily routine. As well as beginning to say goodbye with confidence, they have been busy getting to know names, checking out our toys and learning important skills such as hand washing and where to go if the fire bell rings.
This half term we will continue to build on the children’s interests and enthusiasms, but also introduce some new songs and activities to extend their learning. We will talk about and re-create firework displays, celebrate Children In Need and raise awareness of Road Safety Week to learn some important pedestrian skills.
Then it’ll be December and time to get ready for Christmas. There’ll be decorations to make, cards to write, gifts to wrap and we’ll even do some baking so the wonderful, festive scents of cinnamon and spice will float through the air! And listen out for a special visitor who will be joining us at our end of term Christmas Party with a special delivery for all the children! Ho Ho Ho!
