It was great to see everyone back this week! We hope that you had a lovely break. We have been enjoying the sights, the sounds and the smells of the counrtryside as the farmer spread slurry over the field next to us! It was very stinky. The seagulls seemed to like it though.

Our favourites have been Supertato, Peter Rabbit, The Romanian Builder, Miffy and Thomas the Tank Engine books. What are your favourite stories at home?
