The children enjoyed exploring pumpkins last week. They helped to scoop out the seeds, chop up the flesh and created some delicious pumpkin soup. Look at the blog for photos.
Thank you to Lily for sending in photos of her half term fun that she shared with her friends and teachers in Nursery. If you have any photos of the children's achievements, activities they have completed at home or fun days out please send them to eyfs@broadford.havering.sch.uk.
This week is World Nursery Rhyme week. We will be teaching the children some of the focus Nursery rhymes such as 'Lavenders Blue', 'Wind the Bobin Up' and 'Bobby Shafto' to celebrate the importance of teaching children Nursery Rhymes.
