Stakesby's Wise Owls had a lovely morning with residents of Marton Court, Whitby. With kelly Brown from Yorkshire Coast homes, they decorated paper butterflies, shared stories and sung their favourite nursery rhymes!

This week the Super Squirrels have been to work with the lovely community at Marton Court.  We had a fabulous time sharing stories and look forwards to our next visit when we will be decorating biscuits.

Last week we all wrote a letter to Father Christmas. We practised writing our names and our ages and some of us wrote sentences while others had a go at cutting out pictures of the toys we would love to get for Christmas.
