This week at Gray's Farm 11/02

Week Beginning: 11 February 2019

NURSERY

We shall continue our topic on Pirates and Mermaids.

We will be making our own message in a bottle, if you have any small plastic bottles at home we would be grateful for them. The children will be counting and ordering gold coins and predicting whether pirate treasure will float or sink.

On Friday 15th February to consolidate our learning the children are invited to come to nursery in fancy dress either Pirates or Mermaids for our party. (no swords please).

Please remember to continue to post on tapestry.
