Let's Explore

The children have settled into school life  very well. They are getting used to choosing their own learning during our let's explore sessions. This week the favourites have been building outside using the wooden blocks, tool  boxes and wheel  barrows, and lots of letter and card writing.  Everyone has been enjoying our snack table too.
