Nursery Newsletter 30.4.18

Dear Parent/Carer,

We had an exciting day on Friday re-telling the story of George and the Dragon. The children helped to create a very impressive cardboard dragon and following the story well. They enjoyed making jam and cucumber sandwiches to eat after our re-enactment of the story. This week we are continuing with our Animal focus. The children will have a visit from a rabbit and a dog and learn about how to look after pets.

If you have any pictures of your child's pets please email them to eyfs@broadford.havering.sch.uk. If you have any pets that it would be safe for the children to see in Nursery and handle please speak to a member of staff, we would love for the children to see a variety of pets.
