FEBRUARY 2012

THEME

Our theme this month is ANIMALS - domestic and wild, mothers and babies. The children will be introduced to lots of new vocabulary. Our colour is yellow and our shape is a heart. Remember it is important to talk to your child at home about their school experiences.

Visitor

The children will be visited by a representative from the Avian Care Trust Wildlife Centre during the month of February(Date still to be confirmed). The children will have an opportunity to see and touch -if they wish, a selection of animals including: a hedgehog, rabbit, baby fox and an owl. This is a very exciting experience for your child. We would be grateful if you could donate some food e.g. carrots, lettuce, fruit, dog/cat food or stale bread for the animals centre. Thank you
