Fortnightly Theme

Show 'n' Tell

Each day after snack we have had the opportunity to ‘Show ‘n’ tell’ things the children have brought from home that relate to the colour, shape, sound or number that we are focussing on that week. 
Due to the current situation re COVID-19 we will continue with our themes 'in house' but will put 'showing' on hold until the children are able to bring in items from home again. We will of course have frequent opportunities for children to 'tell' something they would like to share with the group.
