Dear Wilkins friends and families,
We have had another wonderful week getting to know the new members
of our class and their families. We have experienced a few tears but assure you
all that they perk up throughout the day and are having lots of fun exploring
their new environment and engaging in activities with their peers and teachers.
If you ever have any questions or would like to see some pictures of what the
children have been up to throughout the day please ask us or check the Wilkins
door for our weekly picture poster.
This week the sun has been shining and we have enjoyed spending
time outdoors. At the moment we have many open ended experiences set up
for the children to explore in our area. In the sandpit this week we have
been "filling buckets full of pancake mixture" (Billy) around our
wooden stool sandpit dining tables. Isla made sure that the mixture was spooned
out "even so we all get the same big pancake", and Tarika and Anwen
made sure we had "strawberries and ice cream topping". Harry got
on stage and played us a set on the Wilkins and Langley drum kit
which sounded delightful and got everyone's attention. And George,
Leonard and Christian showed us their best reenactment of dinosaurs
in our dinosaur pit.
We look forward to having lots more fun next week and wish
you all a lovely weekend. To those of you who haven't met Miss Ellen who is on
holidays in Greece, she will return to us in the next few weeks. We are very
much looking forward to having her back on board and sharing some pictures of
her trip.
Mrs Jess, Mrs Nicole, Miss Georgia and Miss Kim
