Snow !

I am sure the children have been excited today about the arrival of  snow and  I hope they have had fun.

We hope to be able to open on time, if there are no more snowfalls. Children will need Wellington boots,warm coat, hat and gloves so they can play out if it is not too slippery.

Half-term is the 13th February for 1 week – pre-school closed. Have a good week!

French lessons on Friday morning

On Friday we have a parent who gladly gives up her time to come in and teach the children some French words and songs.

Children have been learning how to say their name and greet one another. This week our story was about a dinosaur – Le Dinosaur.

The children love the visit from some friendly puppets that capture their imagination.

This week in the quiet room we have been learning the song Frere Jacques and you can find the words here:)   http://www.jeannedelalune.co.uk/Frerejacques.html
