Hello all,

What a performance. The children really enjoyed singing for you this week and we hope that you enjoyed it too. It has been very busy and festive in foundation, and we have been making cards and enjoying lots of glitter and glue. I think they have definitely got into the Christmas spirit. We have been so lucky with the snow and the children have spent time outside making snow angels and snowmen. On Thursday we had a visit from Santa which was very exciting. We sung Christmas songs for him and he left a bag of presents for us. During the Christmas party we have done lots of dancing and played party games in the hall. 

Only 3 school days left before we break for the holidays. We are all looking forward to a break and we hope that some of the awful bugs will disappear.

Please remember to collect your child at 2 o'clock on 21st December.

Have a great weekend!

 Hello all, This week we have begun learning songs for the Harvest Festival. The children found lots of colourful autumn leaves in the garden which they have used for cooking in our mud kitchen. We have seen lots of amazing pies and beautifully decorated cakes.  The children also loved doing a puppet show. They used puppets and dressed up to perform for their friends. Following the children's interest, next week, we will create our own puppets. Phonics  In phonics the children have been introduced to the letter sounds: i, n, m, d. Please revisit these sounds at home during the weekend. We greatly appreciate your support. Please, use the link below to access Little Wandle's section for parents.

 Welcome back,  It has been a good week in foundation and the children seem very happy to be back with their friends. We have created a Winter area for the children to play and learn in, with lots of activities relating to the cold. I have included some photos for you to see.  Next week we are going to be starting  stay and play sessions. We have put families into groups so that we don't have too many people in the unit at once. Please make sure that you know what date you are invited to join us and speak to me if you have any queries. Child Initiated Stay and Play Sessions Happy New Year to you all.

 Hello all, We have a had a very Chinese week in the unit with lots of exciting activities relating to the Chinese New Year. The children have made Chinese dragons, prepared and eaten noodles using chop sticks, looked at China on our map and learnt about the Chinese Zodiac story. It has been a very busy week. The children have also tried to do some Chinese writing which was fantastic. We always enjoy this festival as it really captivates their interest  especially as we are looking at other countries each day on our map. On Tuesday, Reception class went for their first school trip to The Snow Centre. The children were very excited going on a coach as for most of them it was the first time having that experience. I'm glad all the children found the courage to go down the slope. The children were amazing and the staff from the centre commented on our children's excellent behaviour. Next week is half term and we are all looking forward to a rest. I hope you all have a good b...
