November Newsletter.
After a lovely half term break we welcome everyone back to our favourite half term of the year! The glitter and sparkles will be making their way into everything we do as we approach our Christmas party and performance!!
Topics/Themes This half-term we have been looking at Bonfire Night, making patterns and investigating colour mixing, we have been hearing tales of the events that the children have been to and how exciting it was! We have loved hearing about their Halloween celebrations also and if you have any photos you would like to share of the children dressed up or with their decorations we would love to see these. You can either bring them in or email them to buttercross-ps@hotmail.co.uk and we can share them. We will be looking at Winter and Christmas themes and we will be practicing our Christmas songs and getting ready to show off our singing at our Christmas play which will be held on Monday morning on the 18th December
