Week ending
Friday 13th October, 2023
Dear Families,
The children have had a great week learning about boats and how we can travel on water. We have loved exploring small boats, large ships, water and things that live in the sea. We have also enjoyed boat sponge printing and pretend fishing.
This week also saw the first of our Come Learn With Me events. This was a huge success and we would like to thank everyone who participated with such enthusiasm and look forward to future events!
If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know either at the end of the day or by asking the office to arrange a time that suits you.
Have a lovely weekend.
Best wishes from the Nursery Team
