Room 2: The Hospital Dog 🐶 Our theme of the week has been based around Julia Donaldson’s book: The Hospital Dog. The children have extended their love of learning about caring for different pets and animals. They have embraced their creative sides by using different materials to construct lovely animal artwork, which you can see has proudly filled our display boards. We revisited discussions around how to care for different animals, including our own pets, and took a trip to the baby room to observe Sonia and Lesley, our pre-school pet fish 🐟 This week we have also been very busy celebrating Holi Day, the festival of colour 🌈 We enjoy embracing different cultural experiences, experimenting with colour through colour mixing and creating colourful potions. The children were proudly wearing their lovely handmade Holi Day festival crowns which they decorated themselves 👑Overall, in Room 2, we’ve all had another fun, busy week of learning! We hope you enjoy your weekend ⭐️ ... See MoreSee Less

Chinese New Year 🧧This morning Children in room 1 are using their fine motor and hand–eye coordination skills to carefully fill little bags with rice. The children showed great concentration as they scooped, poured, and tied their bags independently.We also learnt that red is a lucky colour during Chinese New Year and that people give gifts of red envelopes (often with money inside) to wish each other good luck and happiness for the year ahead. Your child may come home with a lovely little red gift in their bag (no money, but red rice) we have said they could hang these for good luck in your home too! NB. Not for eating 🤪It has been wonderful to see the children engaging in cultural learning while developing their physical skills at the same time. Well done! 🌟 ... See MoreSee Less
