Each term the children enjoy learning a new core story or stories.
Yellow group are focusing on colour recognition and have chosen ‘The greedy Rainbow’ as their core story.
They will also be looking at: Wow said the owl, and Brown bear, Brown bear what do you see
Following on from their all about me theme this term, Blue group have chosen ‘It’s okay to be different’ as their core story.
Parents consultations

To ensure that we can work with parents as effectively as possible and ensure you are kept up to date with your child’s development, at the end of November we will be offering parent’s consultations via telephone conversation with your child’s key person. You will receive an up to date progress tracker for your child over the next couple of weeks. If you would like to book an appointment, please speak to your child’s key person. Telephone appointments will be no longer than 10minutes.
