Hello and welcome to this week’s blog post. 

Thank you for responding to our question "Do you know who your child's key person is?".  We had 24 responses, 23 yes and 1 no.  We have now emailed everyone to inform you of your child's key person, if you are still unsure please speak to the room leader.  We now have a new question, "Do you read the blog?"
In Class 2 this week we have been making things for Father's day and the children have told us what they love about their dad.  The tadpoles have now moved into the pond and the caterpillars are growing!  On Wednesday, a parent baked fruit scones with the children.  We have introduced a 'curiosity' cube to the class, they have been drawing pictures and talking about the items inside the cube.  The current letter for the sound bag is 'P', if you find anything beginning with this letter, please bring it in to add to our bag.  It has been a very wet week, the children have continued going outside and playing in the rain.

In Class 1 this week the children have been given the opportunity to make father's day cards if they wanted to, this also lead onto children creating telephones and pictures to put on the wall. Outside the children created chalk paint and created marks on the fence using this, and created an obstacle course which the children went through the puddles, over the crates and under planks of wood. On Tuesday the children made fruit tartlets which looked yummy!  Today in forest school the children helped to create a shelter and used this as their home in their role play.

Please join us for Strawberry fayre on Thursday from 3pm.  We still need donations for the tombola and cakes for the tea stall.

Hello and welcome to this week’s blog post.   This week we have added 20 eggs to our incubator and we now need to wait 21 sleeps (approximately) for them to hatch! Class 2 have started planting, if you can donate any seeds or plants please take an item from the wish list (on Class 1’s garden fence).   We also have a new water table and the children have been exploring this.   Some of the children wanted to find out more about nocturnal animals and used the iPad.   We also found ladybirds in the garden and added them to the bug hotel. In Class 1 the children have been role playing as fire fighters, they used spray bottles filled with water to put out the fire. They have also measured how tall the sweet peas have grown. Tomorrow the staff team will be attending Helicopter Stories training with Trisha Lee from make believe arts.   Caroline has already attended training with Trisha and the children in Class 2 enjoy making up their own stories to act out on ‘stage’.   So

Hello and welcome to this week’s blog post.   T his week we have been counting down the days waiting for the eggs to hatch.  We now need to wait 14 sleeps (approximately). Today we had a visit from some lambs and the children from both classes had an opportunity to meet them. Class 2 have some new tadpoles and the children have been watching them eat the lettuce we have fed them.  Earlier in the week, some of the children found mint in the garden and wanted to use it in the mud kitchen.  We then provided some mint in the classroom for the children to explore with scissors and mix with various media.  The children have been making pirate maps using teabags and using chalks to make marks in the garden.  We experimented with raisins and sparkling water to make the raisins dance and the children have worked together to make a river in the sand pit.  On Monday we went to the school hall for music and movement and we have spent a lot of time outside in the sunshine.  We have plan
