Happy New Year!
Welcome back! It has been so nice to see the children this week. I hope you all had a lovely Christmas break and managed to have some well earned rest. Thank you so much for the Christmas cards, well wishes and gifts Miss Rowson and I received before Christmas.
This week we have looked at the story ‘We’re going on a bear hunt’ and the children have enjoyed a range of activities around this including small world tray, puzzles and yoga.
This week we went up to the Library for the first time. We will go to the library every Wednesday to take out a new book. The previous book needs to be returned to school in order to take a new one out.
In phonics this week we looked at the phoneme ‘m’. We found lots of things in our classroom beginning with this sound including magnet, milk and mirror.

Reading Morning
Thank you to everyone who came to Reading morning today. Reading morning will be every Friday 8:45 – 9:00 unless we are going to an assembly – I will let you know in advance.
Big Garden Birdwatch
I have signed up for Nursery to take part in the Big Garden Birdwatch happening at the end of January. We will take part in some of the activities including making binoculars, going on a bird hunt in the school grounds and making bird feeders.
Please could all children bring in 2 toilet roll tubes so that they are able to make a pair of binoculars in Nursery.
We will complete these activities week commencing 22nd January.
Book bags
It would be helpful if a small key ring was attached to the handle so the children can identify their own book bag at home time.
Important Dates:
Monday 15th January 2024 – Deadline for online Reception applications.
INSET day – Monday 29th January 2024.
February Half term – 19th – 23rd February.
Have a lovely weekend.
