Grandies Day was a great success and it was lovely to see the children showing the Grandies around. The pictures tell a wonderful story of the children demonstrating how they spend their day.

We have been working on our counting skills. We have been practising our one to one number recognition, making sure our fingers “press the buttons and don’t bounce around.” We also went for a number hunt around the grounds. We are encouraging the children to look for numbers in their environment and find our missing numbers!

We have also been working on our independence skills and looking after our things as the change in weather has meant a lot of jumpers, hats and socks suddenly being taken off and going missing. Hopefully items will begin to find their ways to the lockers and basket.

William did a great job of singing the Crows song and it gave us a great opportunity to talk about what it means to belong and not belong.

We are beginning to get family pictures from Show and Tell for our display, as we continue to look at how all families are different.

It was great to meet so many of you at our Parent Teacher Interview. Thank you for your time as we know it can be a juggle to fit them in.
