As the term begins and we celebrate Bonfire Night we shall have some great stories around our very own (pretend) bonfires and talk about all the exciting things we have seen over the evenings in our night skies.
Dark afternoons are perfect for reading books together and we are very much looking forward to enjoying some cosy story times with the children. We will visit the library hopefully and we will be sharing our very special book bags with you to take home and borrow.
We will also be enjoying some very focused and exciting story time tuff trays. This is where we will be delving into some classics having lots of fun reading and finding out all about them in so many different ways. There will be music, art and some cute and cuddly characters to play with and build more stories around.
We are excited to be creating perfect little reading nooks, sensory moments and big group theatre type performances in our very own Rainbow style!
As the season turns cooler we shall be wearing more layers as we play outside, don’t forget that we have an ‘open door’ policy so children can use the garden whatever the weather- we always make sure we all stay warm by wearing appropriate weather attire. We will really be encouraging the children to be as independent as possible with putting on coats and hats-we are very patient and will help your child with learning the valuable skills of doing up zips and buttons and putting there shoes on. So please do make sure your child has a named weather appropriate coat and spare clothes. If your child comes in wearing welly boots please make sure they have additional footwear to change into for indoor play!
Forest School will be on Tuesdays this term- we especially enjoy our warm snacks on cold days to keep us going and we hope to enjoy some stories together whilst we are out in the wild!
We will be continuing our weekly visits to our lovely neighbours at Westgate House - we are also hoping to have them come in and stay and play with us for tea or coffee one morning….
