Messages.
Just a reminder that our morning session starts at 8.30 until 11.30. We have had to rearrange our time table and our letters and sounds session will start promptly at 8.50. We do not want any of the children to miss this important part of the day.

Don’t forget the ‘Whole School Challenge Afternoon’ is taking place on Thursday 30th January. This is an afternoon event, therefore as always the morning children are welcome to attend the afternoon session, if you would like to be involved. The afternoon session is from 12.30 – 3.30. The actual challenge talk starts at 1.30. So the afternoon children can be dropped off just before 1.30 or alternatively you can drop your child off at the usual time of 12.30 and return at 1.30 for the talk.

Kind Regards,

The Nursery Team











Row Row Row the Boat



Row, row, row your boat



Gently down the stream



Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily



Life is but a dream







Row, row, row your boat



Gently up the creek



If you see a little mouse



Don't forget to squeak!







Row, row, row your boat



Gently down the stream. If you see a crocodile



Don't forget to scream!







Row, row, row your boat



Gently to the shore



If you see a lion



Don’t forget to roar!







1, 2,3,4,5



One, two, three, four, five,



Once I caught a fish alive,



Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,



Then I let it go again.



Why did you let it go?



Because it bit my finger so.



Which finger did it bite?



This little finger on the right.
