Amazing Me:
On Monday 4th November we had a visit from Jo and Amby from St Johns. Fittingly we had a fire drill in the afternoon.

In Week 5 we watched DVD 3 - looking into family dynamics, our addresses and phone numbers, and knowing how to/being confident in seeking help from others and sharing how we feel. We have been looking at where people live - different places and types of housing. Our Amazing Me programme makes links with the horrific typhoon in the Philippines as we went over this extreme natural disaster with the children; further adding to our growing understanding of the world around us and what happens when we lose our home/possessions . We have watched YouTube clips of this extreme tragedy with the children during the week, as well as sourced texts on natural disasters and examined the globe - some children have mentioned seeing the same images on their TV at home - has your family talked about this at home?? Our thoughts go out to our strong Filipino community.

Nurtured By Nature:
Linda went along with the group this week as well as new faces Jacqlynn Logan and Paige Ankerson! Last week Cohen Davis joined the Forest Kindy kids ... New group dynamics!
