Week Beginning 30th September

This week at Squirrels we have been talking about autumn and harvest
festival.  We have begun to build a display of autumn books, pictures and
crafts which we will add to over the next week or so.  Some of the children
have made bread and others have made some salt dough shapes to add to our
display.  We are going to make some collections of things we find in autumn
such as different coloured leaves, conkers, acorns etc.
 
We have sent out a letter asking for donations of fruit or
vegetables.  Please try to bring something in with you next week either on
Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday and the children can put them in our ‘harvest
basket’.  We need to have them before Wednesday afternoon as the children
will be visiting the elderly people at their lunch club and distributing
the lovely fruit and vegetables and singing them some songs.
 
You may have seen the model of the Community Centre (on the table outside
the pre-school room).  Some of the children made this during the
week.  It started off as a house but then the children decided to turn it
into ‘Squirrels.’
 
We have made the most of the good weather by playing lots of games outside
such as What’s the time Mr Wolf and Hide and Seek.  At circle time we
have been learning the adult’s and children’s names.
 
Have a good weekend and we look forward to receiving donations of
apples, oranges, carrots, potatoes and lots more next week!
