We had an amazing trip to the Macrobert Arts Centre to see Santa’s Magical Lighthouse today.
Thanks also to Hunters Coaches for getting us there and back safely.

Parents’ Information Session
Thanks to everyone who came along to our session yesterday afternoon to catch up on our progress in our move to the woods.
We understand that this is a very busy time of year so please be assured that we intend to have more of these events to help everyone keep everyone up to date. But also, there is no obligation to come along if you have other commitments. If you have questions at any time please just speak with a member of staff.
An Unusual Visitor to Nursery
We had an unusual visitor to nursery this week when Jordan spotted a frog on the path!
We wondered where the frog had come from and where it was going when we don’t have a pond or any water close by.
The children stayed very quiet so as not to scare the frog and when they listened carefully they could hear the frog saying “ribbitt, ribbitt”. Some of the children were able to copy the sound the frog made.
The frog was very slippery and was trying to squeeze out of Jane’s hands. The children agreed that the frog might be a bit scared of all of us because we were so much bigger than it so we decided we should put it somewhere safe. We decided not to put it back on the path because someone might stand on it and “squash it flat”. The children decided to put the frog in our bug hotel and let it decide where it wanted to go. We sat the frog down and watched it hop away into the hotel.
”It jumped really high!”

Rope Play
We have been busy in the woods marking out a boundary on our woodland site and learning how far we can roam when we are playing. Over recent weeks our children have all been very engaged in tying knots with rope and last week with wool in our spider web. This week they practised enthusiastically with a new material, boundary tape.
LEGO Education
We were pleased to receive an email telling us we had been successful in applying for a free LEGO® Education Build Me Emotions set. It arrived this week and our children have been making up figures with a variety of emotions to match their own faces.
