Hello and welcome to this weeks blog post.

Thank you for responding to our questions regarding the blog, the majority of parents read it so we will continue trying to post weekly!  There is a new question, please have a look and respond.

We all had a lovely time at Thomley Hall on Wednesday, thank you for joining us.  Over the summer they will have various open days with different activities, please take a look at their website for more details.  https://thomley.org.uk/calendar/


This week in Class 2 we found a frog in our pond!  The garden continues to grow and we look forward to harvesting the fruit and vegetables soon.  We had a very wet forest school on Tuesday and the children mixed powder paint with the mud and water to create new colours.  The children have chosen some songs and music for our leavers celebration (please let us know if you are coming) and we have been practising.  

In Class 1 this week we created musicals instruments using pasta and lentils, carried out an experiment to find out what would happen when milk, salt, water, oil and food colouring were mixed together. At Forest school we continued to create Marks using a hammer and looked for bugs. The children also made their own playdough. Please remember to put sun cream on your child before they come into Pre-School and send it a sunhat. Both classes have been practising for sports day! Fingers crossed that the weather is good for Monday 8th July. Next week - Class 1 parent consultations.

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
