Bright Beginnings

This week our story has been "Peppa's Pumpkin Party".
We have hammered pumpkins, drawn on pumpkins and collected pumpkin seeds. We have also made our own pumpkin lanterns.
Our Mini Adventure is all about collecting Autumn leaves. Perhaps you could walk around Chase Water or the park and collect some leaves. If you take any photo's we would love to see them after the holidays.
REMINDER - As weather gets colder please ensure your child always wears a warm coat, hat and gloves - We love to explore outside.
Have a great holiday, be kind and good. Stay Safe.
