Weekly roundup 23 October

What a wonderful week we’ve had!

⭐ We’ve been celebrating the Diwali festival. Sunita and Karishma kindly showed us their beautiful saris and shared how special this festival is to them. The children learned about Diwali traditions, including how families decorate their homes and create colourful rangoli patterns. During the week, the children also made their own Diwa lamps, which they were very proud of!

🎃 Halloween fun!

We also enjoyed celebrating Halloween this week. On Wednesday, we had a fabulous themed day filled with exciting activities, including pumpkin carving and creative crafts. The children even made spooky pizzas, trying new foods such as green peppers and olives — a big hit with everyone!

📚 Book of the Week

Our book of the week has been The Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson. The children have loved exploring this rhyming story and joining in with the repeated phrases throughout the book.

🍁 Harvest Donations

This week we took the generous donations collected during our Harvest Festival to the Sanctus Homeless Charity. They were incredibly grateful and asked us to pass on their thanks for your kindness and support.

🌺 Poppy Appeal

After half term, starting Monday 3rd November, we will be selling poppies for the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal at the front desk. Suggested donations are 50p.

📅 Reminders

We are closed tomorrow for half term and will return on Monday 3rd November.

👜 Just a little reminder to check your children’s bags regularly and ensure they have a spare set of clothes, baby wipes, and nappy sacks each day — thank you for your continued support!

💛 Have a wonderful half term break!
