Nursery Newsletter

Term: Spring 1 Date 11.03.13

The children are still enjoying the ‘Amazing Animal’ topic.We had a surprise visit from Mrs Zebra last week (The lovely Mrs Chisholm in disguise). I hope the children came home and told you all the interesting facts they found out about Zebras. We will be relating our learning to the kinds of animals that we will see at Tropical Wings on Wednesday. So we will be covering all sorts of animals including mini-beasts. Our books for the week are ‘Little Rabbit Foo Foo’ and ‘Rosies Walk’.

Our songs for the week are ‘Five Little Ducks’, ‘Old Mcdonalds Farm’ and ‘Baa baa black sheep’.
