Hello and welcome to this week’s blog post. We have had a busy start to the last half term of this year!
We have a new area by the front door with a new donation tree.  The free fruit (and random donations from Tesco!) will also be available on the new cabinet, please feel free to help yourself.  We will also display a question on the board and ask you to add a counter to the yes or no jar with your answer.  This will help us to reflect on how we are doing and help us to improve, I hope to add a comments box and paper for you to leave any suggestions relating to the question.  The current question is "Do you know who your child's key person is?"
I would also like to remind you all that the library is still available for you to take preloved books from and to add any that you no longer want.  Please do have a look through with your child and choose a book to take home.
In Class 2 this week our tadpoles have started to turn into tiny frogs!!  We have moved the tank out into the garden and will be moving them into the pond over the coming days.  The caterpillars have arrived and the children have been taking good care of them.  On Monday we went to the school hall for music and movement and in the afternoon we spend some time in the Year R class room and garden.  The children have also made cookies with one of the parents and we have practised for sports day on the school field.
In Class 1 we have practiced our cutting skills using a knife. The children cut up carrots and potato's outside. The children used the cut up vegetables to create prints on paper.  On Tuesday the children created their own playdough, once made they explored this. The children wanted to make walkie talkies, we provided resources and they used their walkie talkies in their police role play. Today in forest school the children created mud paint, they used this to create pictures.  
On Monday Caroline will be spending the morning in Class 1 and Aimee will join Class 2.

Please do not forget the flower picking fundraising event at Howes farm on Monday 10am - midday.  We also still need recipes to add to our cookbook, deadline is Monday 10th June.

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
