Some of the children have been making puppets this week and enjoying acting out stories with them. Great imagination and expressive language.

It’s Bonfire Night and the children were using a splatter technique in the paint area to create these sparkly firework pictures.

We also toasted some marshmallows over a real fire bowl.

Lots of fun today with costumes, pumpkins, dookin and donuts. We even had “pin the tail” on the witches cat!

Today, the children were getting ready for Halloween by playing a matching game. Lots of Halloween themed pictures were hidden around the nursery and the children were each given a picture card with pumpkins, witches, cats etc. They had to find 4 other cards exactly the same as their one. Great fun and great matching skills everyone.

Last Friday, we all learned about the Festival called Diwali. We had a special snack of pakora and some coconut sweets, made some Diwali light holders and read a story called Lighting a Lamp. We also learned some new songs.

Thank you to everyone who came to support our coffee morning in aid of MacMillan Cancer Care. It was lovely to see so many parents enjoying coffee and cake before the children then provided the entertainment with some fantastic singing. We managed to raise £116 for this worthy cause.

Well done everyone.

The children all had their best smiles on for World Smile Day on Friday.
