It has been another busy week for the children in the Rainbow Unit this week. We have seen lots of engagement and smiles as we have completed some Christmas crafts and had a little go of wearing some of the Christmas accessories. The children looked fabulous with their Christmas jumpers on today 😊
Next Wednesday is our trip to CAFT. We are very excited for this and know it will be a fantastic day for the children. Please can you ensure you send the children in with a warm, waterproof coat to attend on this day. If you haven’t already done so then could you please send in some waterproofs if you are able to, as we are expecting it to be muddy. We do have some spares if there are any problems.

This week in Yellow Class, it has been a busy one!
The children have been exploring independently lots of activities in the classroom, this is lovely to see as the children are taking ownership of their “choose time” and finding activities they enjoy which are they are staying engaged in for a longer period of time.
This weeks Maths activity was a shape sorting activity, feeding the shapes into the correct holes- children enjoyed this very much!
It has been a cold week this week and the children are tolerating us dressing them in warmer clothing to embrace the playground at lunchtime.
We have been using the interactive screen to play online games, and inviting the children to take part if they choose to.
We hope you have a lovely weekend!
