Half term ending 22nd May

We've been keeping cool as the weather warms up - filling, pouring and fishing in the water tray and staying in the shade as much as possible. The children have been busy cutting, painting and sticking to create wonderful sunflowers and bees to go up on our 'Summer' display on the wall.

At the children's request, the adults have put livestreams from zoos etc of fish, penguins and more on the interactive whiteboard. It's been fun seeing what the animals like to do! As lots of us are getting older and more capable, we've been trying out the ladder from our climbing frame and jumping from the top to the grass (only when it's clear below of course!), how brave! 

Please remember to pop a hat in bags for the sunny moments, and provide sun cream for us to put on after lunch on full days for our final half term of the school year, we look forward to seeing you back after the break! :)

Weeks ending 3rd April 2025

Crafts crafts crafts! We've been getting messy making cards for people we love for Mother's Day, and with Easter closing in we've had paints and glue everyday.

The children had to be careful while rolling marbles to decorate Easter egg cards, and they concentrated well when sticking petals on daffodils. We had fun stamping to make spring bunny pictures. Lots of us also drew a flower, copying from photos of real ones, to go up on one of the walls for Spring.

When we weren't crafting inside, we were crawling through tunnels, jumping across stepping stones and using bandages to help the 5 little monkey's when they fell off of the bed!

We hope everyone has a great time off over the holidays! :)

Weeks ending 14th March 2025

These past two weeks have been exciting! We've been making playdough pancakes, finger painting and exploring all things books. World book day was the 6th of March and so we had Hungry Caterpillar games, Shark in the Park activities and more. We also had '5 little men in a flying saucer' toys for a song book.

Lots of us came in dressed up but for those who couldn't we had lots of hats and costumes ready to be used. There was also a practice fire drill the next day that we were great during! When we visited Acorn Patch we found slugs, worms, newts and more. We were careful to be kind and not scare them.
