Happy New Year

Hello everyone,

We would all like to wish you a Happy New Year and we hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Thank you for all the lovely presents which we have all enjoyed sharing with our families.

This week we will be sharing our Christmas news during group time and then recalling our Christmas with our key workers and mark making a picture of a memory from the Christmas holidays. These will be going up on the wall over the week. Towards the end of the week we will be introducing our story which will be the Elves and the Shoemakers. This will then lead on to the story of Cinderella. There will be lots of exciting activities and adventures to be had over the next few weeks. 
We will also be doing some gardening this week by planting some onions and garlic sets in the raised beds. We will also continue to look after our pet chickens and guinea pigs.
