Wilkins


Dear Wilkins and Langley families,
Happy New Year to you all, we hope you had a lovely holiday break.

Our first week back has been full of laughter and lots of storytelling of our exciting presents from Santa.  Our children have also been enjoying our new environment indoors and outdoors.
We have been extending our play from last term, with both the classrooms creating still life paintings of the Langley classroom garden with limited colours, fostering their hand and eye coordination.

We have also been enjoying the weather in the mornings with our water and sand play. Some of the children have engaged in conversation with educators about boats and the way they function whilst involved in play.
As the children have showed a high interest in play-doh, we have involved them in making an orange bundle of play-doh. Both classes were involved in the discussion of building rocket ships and counting from one to five for blast off.

Just a reminder of transitions with new children and children moving up, please bare with us and be patient as there may be a few tears.

We look forward to what the New Year has to bring and watching our classes grow!
Wilkins and Langley Team J
