Karen asked the children what the weather was like outside today and they all shouted that it was raining so Sophie selected the umbrella from the wall and stuck it down beside the date.

They collected their bags and went inside to wait to be picked up. Today Margaret read a book to everyone called Smiley Shark. The book was about a shark who liked to smile but had no friends because everyone thought his teeth were scary. The children seemed to listen a lot more when Margaret read them a book than when I did. Deborah handed out the set rice crispy cakes to the boys and girls while they were listening to the story.
