The frosty mornings of January and early February outside were matched inside at Rainbows with our theme of winter. The children made different pictures of snowmen, with cotton wool, doilies or shape stamping with paint. We also had great fun experimenting with ice to make up for the absence of snow outside.

We celebrated Chinese New Year by making blossom trees and decorations.  We enjoyed rolling duck pancakes and many a valiant effort was made tasting noodles with the chopsticks.

All our new children who started in January have settled in very well. Welcome to Harvey, Ben, William, Jonathon, Amy and Alexander.

The children have created a wonderful picture based on the nursery rhyme "There was an old lady who swallowed a fly", have you seen it on the Village Hall Wall? We have also had great fun singing and acting it out during our music and movement mornings.
