Thank you for your help in getting children settled into Homerton this half of term.  Just a quick reminder that next week is half term.  If your child is booked into Holiday club it runs Monday-Friday from 9am-5pm.

We have a few exciting events in the week we return which are a mini fireworks display, just for the children, during their session on 2^nd November.  This is a chance for us to talk about firework safety for ourselves and our pets.

On 4^th November Messy play starts in the Rainbow Room.  This is a drop in group for parents and toddlers running 9.30am-10.45am. It costs £3.00 per family, so please bring the correct money in cash, if you are coming.  Entry is via the main entrance at the office.

If you are planning to have personalised Christmas cards or mugs via our Cauliflower cards fundraiser then the artwork needs to be back to us by Tuesday 1^st November.

Threadworm – Please be aware there has been a case of Threadworm in the Nest

As I mentioned last week some classes have been visiting the allotment to collect the pumpkins, children continued to have fun being creative with conker rolling in paint. The Nest in particular has been celebrating Diwali, the Hindu festival of light, which is on 25^th October, with help from Anmay’s Mum – a big thank you to her.

Please see the selection of photos below for just a few of the activities in classes this week.
