The Owl team would like to say thank you for all our Christmas cards and gifts and we wish you all a very Merry Christmas.We look forward to seeing you all on the 6th January.

The Squirrels have had a very busy and festive few weeks! We have been making lots of Christmas crafts and all of the crafts will be sent home from today On Friday we welcomed our parents / carers into setting for our Christmas Stay and play! It was wonderful to see lots of happy faces This week is the final week of transitions between rooms before the start of the new year. Each room will be also having small Christmas parties to celebrate the final week of term. This week is also a sad week for Squirrels as it Sharons last day with us on Friday 19th December. Sharon has been with the Squirrels team since the very beginning and she will be dearly missed. She had had a huge impact on all of our children and families and we wish her all the best for her future endeavours From all of us in the Squirrels room, we wish you all a very merry Christmas snd a happy new year See you in 2026

We have had a lovely week in the Owl Room, full of festivities. The children have been dressing up in Christmas outfits pretending to be elves and Santa. We have made Christmas cards, decorating a large scale tree. Practicing our balancing skills in the garden and counting whilst playing hopscotch. We finished our week with a Christmas stay and play, thank you to all the parents who came to join us for the afternoon.

Hedgehogs, what a lovely few weeks and in particular afternoon we have all had! Today, we welcomed in our loved ones to join our Christmas stay and play session, in which the Hedgehogs created and decorated a variety of crafts including making our own snowmen biscuits and reindeer food! We have also continued making our Christmas crafts which we are looking forward to sending home next week, as well as singing plenty of Christmas songs!

The children had a wonderful time singing with the residents and getting festive. Fun was had by all. Lots of toe tapping and dancing.

The Owls have had a lovely week taking part in lots of Christmas arts and crafts . We have been making tree decorations, Christmas tree bubble painting and decorating wreaths. We also had gingerbread flavoured playdough which the children had fun cutting out gingerbread people and other Christmas themed shapes. The children also enjoyed our Christmas number game, matching numbers to quantity. At the beginning of the week the owl children had a special delivery of "Ernie the Elf".

The Squirrels have been engaging in lots of Christmas crafts the past few weeks! We can't wait for parents/carers to join us for our Christmas Stay and Play next Friday afternoon.
