Humpty Dumpty
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall,
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men,
Couldn’t put Humpty together again.

Rhyme of the Week – Three Craws
This week’s rhyme of the week will be ‘Three Craws’ – a traditional Scots rhyme.
Three Craws
Three craws sat upon a wa’,
Sat upon a wa’, sat upon a wa’, aw, aw, aw,
Three craws sat upon a wa’,
On a cauld and frosty mornin’.
The first craw was greetin’ for his maw,
Greetin’ for his maw, greetin’ for his maw, aw, aw, aw,
The first craw was greetin’ for his maw,
On a cauld and frosty mornin’.
The second craw fell and brok’ his jaw,
Fell and brok’ his jaw, fell and brok’ his jaw, aw, aw, aw
The second craw fell and brok’ his jaw,
On a cauld and frosty mornin’.
The third craw, couldnae flee at a’,
Couldnae flee at a’, couldnae flee at a’, aw, aw, aw,
The third craw, couldnae flee at a’,
On a cauld and frosty mornin’.
The fourth craw wisnae there at a’
Wisnae there at a’, wisnae there at a’, aw, aw, aw
The forth craw wisnae there at a’
On a cauld and frosty mornin’.

Parents’ Evening Reminder
We look forward to meeting parents this week on Tuesday or Thursday Evening. Please check your appointment time on the board. Appointments were allocated to those who did not sign up to one. Many thanks.
Book Fair next week – helpers required!
As you know, Parent Consultations are taking place next week, on Tuesday 11th and Thursday 13th October. The Scholastic Book Fair will be available on both evenings, which gives parents a great opportunity to encourage reading for fun, and also raises money for the school. Loretto receive a small commission on the sale of books from these evenings, which helps us buy more books for the school. We have a great selection of books for you this year, and they are only available on those evenings; there will be no further orders taken. We do need volunteers to run the book fair, though, so if you’re able to help, please let us know at the school office. Your help is greatly appreciated!
Muddy Fun!
Some of the Afternoon Group children had great fun playing in the mud kitchen yesterday! (It helps children access this kind of play if they are dressed in shoes they can take off/put on by themselves.)
Here are some of the photos of us getting very muddy!
Reminder – school photos next Thursday!
Just a wee reminder that Tempest Photography will be in Loretto next Thursday (October 6th) for individual and family photographs. If you have a child in the Afternoon Group and wish them to have their photo taken with a sibling in the school, please bring them to the gym hall at 9am that day. You will need to stay with your child until they have had their photo taken. Thank you!
Digging for potatoes!
Today the nursery children dug out our planter. In the Summer term the children planted seed potatoes and they were delighted to dig out two enormous potatoes and many small ones. We look forward to cooking and tasting them for our snack tomorrow!
