Dear Families,

Sadly due to the wild weather we had to cancel our Sports Day on Thursday however this did not deter practice in our PE lessons, so we will be ready and raring to go next term when it is rescheduled.
There were some fine displays of gross and fine motor development, with the 'egg and spoon races' proving a favourite, with very few eggs falling from spoons! We have all established which sporting house we are in, what colour it is and the symbol that represents our houses.

We revisited our protective behaviour topic for those children who missed the initial discussions and focused on which parts of our body are private and what to do if we do not feel safe.

We have had some clever puzzle constructors in Isla, Lexie, Sophie and Elyssa who have worked cohesively to complete various puzzles together.

In our home corner there have been attentive and hard working family members who have taken on the responsibilities of various family members. There have been babies to feed, put to sleep and change, cleaning and cooking to be done and various jobs to be filled. Sebastian, Ollie and Henry have shown particular patience and a strong understanding of the domestic duties needed to run a family home!

In the outdoors, Rory and Zara accomplished the challenge of sliding down the fireman's pole. Despite their friends telling them it was easy they both were a little daunted at first, but both overcame their fears and proudly conquered the challenge.

Friday is the last day of Term 3. We look forward to another busy and exciting term starting after the 2 weeks break.

Best wishes,

Emma, Mel, Cris and Satin
