Hello and welcome to this weeks blog post.

We started the week with sports day on Monday, it was amazing to see so many family members and the children were all fantastic!
Please note that we break up for the summer at midday on Friday 19th July.  We will return on Thursday 5th September.  We would like you to take all of your children's belongings home for the summer holidays to allow us to clean and tidy.
Please return questionnaires by Thursday 18th July, we welcome feedback and will use this when making plans to improve our service to you and the children.
On Thursday 18th July we will be hosting a leavers afternoon tea.  This is for the class 2 children and their families.  Please do let us know if you are attending to ensure we have enough seats!!
This week in Class 2 we have visited school Reception Class on Monday and today.  At Forest School we found a stick man and the children then made their own!  There has been lots of water play in the garden and the children have been looking after the plants, next week we will be picking the fruit and vegetables to try.  We also have a visit from Matthew French, he showed the children his medals from clay pigeon shooting and they asked him lots of questions.

In Class 1 this week they have been exploring herbs with playdough, playing group games such as the 'shopping list' and listening activities, block play with tools and making paint from powder.  We also played hide and seek at Forest School.

Please remember to put sun cream on your child before they come into Pre-School and send it a sunhat. We still need a lot more help at this year's fete, please do let us know if you can help on the day or bake a cake. The quote to replace Class 1's artificial grass is around £5000 and we have currently raised just over £1000, please help us reach our target.

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
