Hi everyone,

We are all thrilled at how well they have settled, built relationships and are comfortable in their new classroom. There has been adjustments to their timetable this week, for various different reasons, however the children were great and they embraced the changes! One wonderful opportunity was on Wednesday morning, we were unable to swim therefore we joined Scott’s class and some of John’s class in the Sports Hall. It was lovely to watch the children interacting with each other and taking extra with our little year one/twos, sharing resources and playing with them.

As you can see they are all starting to take an interest in each other. They are so happy and content playing alongside each other and some are beginning to initiate interactions and share resources.

On Monday, we read our new sensory story and flew on our airplane to various places – the rainforest, under the sea and into space. Firstly, the children visited the rainforest, they could hear the animals in the distance, feel the jelly swamp and explore the various animals hidden inside. We then took a trip to under the sea, the children loved playing in the water, squeezing the sponges, listening to the whale noises and being sprayed with water. Our last trip was to our favourite place – SPACE. They were so relaxed and loved tracking the star lights and making choices on the objects they wanted to explore – lights or silver foil.

I hope you can all can make the Coffee Afternoon on Monday 21st from 1:30 pm onwards.

We have trips booked!

On Monday 11th November, we will visit the Tim Lamb Centre at the Rising Sun Country Park, we will arrive around 10 am and return to school for our remembrance assembly in the afternoon. We will be taking a packed lunch provided by school. The centre is fab, it has a sensory room, soft play and trampolines!

For our Christmas trip, we decided to take a trip to the Metro Centre – see Santa, ride the train, go to McDonalds and then visit the soft play! It is a flat surface so we can take the children’s walkers and allow them explore all the lovely Christmas decorations. This will be all day on Wednesday 11th December.

Massive HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our Morgy Bear, 7 yesterday! We are having a lovely party for him this afternoon!

Have a lovely weekend and thank you for the snacks.

Jess, Michele, Lindsay, Alyson and Corrie
