After watching some children playing Pirates we decided to incorporate a Pirate topic into the planning this week. What a fun week we have had! Those who chose were able to help plan the pirate galleon, drawing diagrams and shouting out ideas for us to write down, the children helped tape cardboard boxes together and
Happy New Year!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! We welcomed back a jolly band of children this week, all raring to go and keen to get back to the business of playing with the friends that they haven’t seen since Christmas. We have had a lovely few days settling back in, welcoming and including a new starter, Amy, in our
Only a week to go!
Phew, what a week! We have all been so busy getting ready for the Christmas Concert on Tuesday next week.

Such a busy week this week. We have enjoyed the story of the Little Red Hen who eventually got her friends to help her sow, look after and harvest grain before making bread to enjoy together. We made our very own bread rolls to take home and also apple crumble too. The children have played

Today was our first Forest School session. We walked down the Lane from the Hall-it seemed very quiet!
