Messages.

 

The children are all settling well, please continue to help your child to hang their own coat and place their name under the correct key worker. 

Also, a quick reminder that your parent consultation will take place next week.  This will be a short session to let you know how your child is settling and to give you the opportunity ask any questions.

We regularly update our EYFS blog. Please like our Broadford Primary Facebook page every time you see an EYFS blog. Feel free to make a comment on the children’s experiences.

Two little dickie birds

Two little dickie birds sitting on a wall
One named Peter, one named Paul
Fly away Peter, fly away Paul
Come back Peter, come back Paul

 

Three blind mice

Three blind mice, three blind mice,
See how they run, see how they run,
They all ran after the farmer's wife,
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife,
Did you ever see such a thing in your life,
As three blind mice?
