The new term has started well and all seem to be very excited and happy to be back to normal after the Christmas and New Year break.

We all thoroughly enjoyed our first wellie walk across the fields on a very cold, crisp morning. All dressed up in hats, scarves, gloves and wellies of course, the children found some very icy puddles and holding on tight to an adult were able to walk across without too many slips! We took lots of great photos and enjoyed our hot chocolate and toast on our return to the hall.

So far this term we have been measuring and weighing, including ourselves and looking at things that are heavy and light. The children have also been thinking about their senses and using them to explore the environment and tasting lots of different things to tickle their taste buds!

This month they will be investigating how the Chinese celebrate their New Year and you never know we may have visit from our very own Chinese Dragon.

Thank you to all who supported our Bags2school scheme again last term, we made a grand total of £150 from the clothes and bags we sent off to the company, well done.

Finally, welcome to our new little ones who have started this term, they are settling in very well. For further information about the group please contact us on 07765437301 or pop in to the village hall for a chat.

Happy New Year to you all from everyone at Playgroup. We start the new term on Monday 5th January and hope everyone enjoyed Christmas and the New Year celebrations.

Our recent Crafty Christmas morning was a great success, enjoyed by all who attended whether munching on the very tasty bacon butties, sticking and painting or decorating biscuits. We made a profit of over £300 for Playgroup funds. Thank you to everyone who supported the event in any way.

The Christmas Play and Party finished the term on a very cheerful note and we will be now focusing on the term ahead. Continuing last term's theme of All About Us the children will be investigating sizing and weighing, including themselves, going on to their senses and what goes on inside them! Should be interesting.
