Pumpkin Day 2007
It used to be called
Halloween, but we call it Pumpkin Day and it is a great
opportunity for all our children to dress up for the
day, show-offs and shy violets,
one and
all.
|
|
We had lots of little pumpkins, some in very fetching
outfits. Clearly some found squeezing into a pumpkin
suit a bit of a ….squash (groan) |
 |
|
Some pumpkins clearly had a crush on one another |
 |
|
Others were like two seeds in a pod...
|
|
|
..so you could not tell which…
|
|
|
…. was witch.
|
|
|
All in all, everyone had a souper time...

Bonfire Night
We
used to call it Guy Fawkes, but Guy was not around this
year. Instead the
children made a character out of cardboard boxes, who
for some strange reason
was called “Alan”. |
|
Then they built a great big bonfire and our arch
arsonists set fire to it.
|
|
|
Afterwards the
children had sparklers to wave about and
frighten the staff with.

Christmas Hampers
A very big thank you to
all our generous parents, whose gifts of food and
goodies enabled us to present three large hampers to the
Wootton Bassett Community Church. Pastor Tim Ravenscroft
and his co-pastor Karen were very happy to accept the
gifts, which were distributed among the homeless of the
area.

That afternoon the training room was absolutely heaving
for our Christmas Party where Mr S. Jack Claus gave a
wonderful magic display. Here he is in the foreground
during his magic disappearing trick. Later a certain
gentleman in a red coat came to give a present to each
of the children |

***NEWSFLASH***
Highly trained combat
force uncovered in Wootton Bassett nursery!
“Looks can be
deceptive”, says Master Danby, black belt and leader
of North Wiltshire’s premier martial arts team: “they
may look like a harmless bunch of pre-school children to
you, but the reality is, these kids are dangerous!” |
|
It seems that Learning
Curve Day Nursery is the base for a crack squad of
martial arts warriors and they meet in secret every
Monday Afternoon at about 2.30. “People don’t realise
that their hands are dangerous weapons and have to be
licensed”. It is clear that no one is going to kick
sand in their faces anymore—you have been warned! |
 |
|
Business a bit slow in the shop today...? |
 |
|
Then just chill out on the sofa and read a book |
 |
|
Fire! |
|
|
Well not really. But we have to be
prepared. So at least once a month we run a fire drill.
Nobody knows when it is going to be so when the alarm
goes off, we all head for the fire exits. Chef grumbles
a bit if she is in the middle of rolling pastry or the
roast potatoes are burning, but she just has to leave it
and head for the assembly points. |
 |
|
The non-walkers are
carried, or wheeled in the evacuation trolley, whilst
all the other children hold the escape rope and are led
into the car park or up the garden. And thanks to our
frequent practice we can proudly say that should we ever
have a real fire, we can evacuate everyone quickly and
safely.
