This week we are scaling back the toys we have on offer and introducing more natural, open ended resoures, we want the children to use their imagination more when playing in the setting. Plastic toys can be great resources but they leave little to the imagination. 

Ask your child how they have found being in the setting this week and maybe continue it on at home what natural resources could you offer instead??

Dear parents, to help with the continuation of learning at home we send out PIP packs (Partnerships in practice) for you to complete at home with your child focusing on next steps that we have set in session or things we would like to encourage your child to work on. 

We have noticed that parents are bringing the packs back after only a few days, we have lots of these packs so there really is no rush to return them, 3-4 weeks is a suitable time for you to have them at home to really embed the learning that has taken place. 

Of course if your child finds the pack to easy/hard then please return and explain this to your child's key person so we can swap it for something more suitable. 

Many thanks  

Kelly and the staff team. 

This week we are exploring the topic mad about pets, we will have lots of furry vistiors to come and see us during the week including some the ladies doggies, and Kellys hamster Kylo. We will be talking about how to look after pets, where we take pets when they are poorly and roleplaying what it is like to be a vet. 

If you have any pets that you would like to bring in and share during circle time or at the end of the day, please let us know and we can arrange a time for this to happen.
