Dear Families
We end our week on the Summer Solstice and some beautiful weather! It is the last week of our Farm Animals topic.
Next week we start our Summer topic and will be talking about the weather here in the UK and in different countries and also will have a look at coastal regions and the seaside or beach here in the UK and in other countries. PLEASE SEND ANY PHOTOS YOU HAVE OF YOUR CHILD ON THE BEACH AND TELL US WHICH BEACH IT IS.
Enjoy the sunny weather while you can and have a lovely weekend!
Best wishes from the Nursery Team
