Pirates and Mermaids

Happy new year! We are looking forward to starting our new topic 'Pirates and Mermaids'. We have converted our role-play area into a pirate ship and have been busy painting pirates and mermaids for our display.

Christmas marble treat

The children have all been little stars this term and have filled the marble jar once again. They decided that they would like to have a Christmas party and this morning they have been playing party games and have had some party food. It has also been the FOSS Christmas lunch today and the children have all had a really fun time! We even had a special visitor all the way from the North Pole! Thank you FOSS for organising such a fantastic Christmas lunch for the school!

I hope you all have a wonderful (and restful) Christmas!
