*STARS OF THE WEEK*

***I have settled brilliantly or I am a helpful and persistent….***

Finley L - You seem to have grown-up so much over the summer holiday.  You are such a helpful boy, listening to the other children and the teachers and helping them. You are also amazing at tidying-up.

Harry - We loved your perseverance on the sky stepper at the park. You kept at it until you could move both the foot panels forwards and backwards. It was also so lovely to see how proud you were of yourself!

Albie, Daisy, Ezra, Finley S, Florence, Harry, Olivia, Poppy, - You have now been with us for two and a half weeks and we are so pleased with how you have all settled in.  You are all getting used to the Pebbles routines and coping with getting out and about. 

Dear Parents,

Our theme of Autumn is well under way.  The children did both printing the leaves by covering them in paint and pressing them onto paper to make the leaves for the Autumn tree on our display board.  As well as rubbing the leaves by putting them under paper, vein side up and rubbing crayons over the paper side ways on.  These made excellent leaves.

The children painted the tree truck and branches for our tree and we started to learn our new autumn song - 'I'm an acorn small and round'.  The children love the knock, knock sound they have to make with their mouths.

We didn't make it to Forest School but we did go to the park.  On the way we found walnuts which we will crack open next week to taste as well as picking different apple varieties and doing some taste testing to see which ones are our favourite. 

We had a lovely time at the park and were so impressed with how well the new children coped with the walk down and back as well as following the rules at the park, e.g., not going on the big equipment and staying in the park area.  

Next week we will add woodland animals to our display board for our craft activities.  We will be continuing to learn our new action song - 'I'm a acorn small and round (I'm a nut).   We will be looking at the Autumn items we collect under the microscrope and encouraging new vocabulary to describe what we see.   

Have a lovely weekend. 

The Pebbles team.
