Welcome to this weeks blog post.  We have had a very busy first week back!
Class 2 will be starting forest school on Tuesday, please ensure that the children have their legs and arms covered.  They will also need waterproofs and wellies.

We had a lot of unnamed wellies left behind before the summer holidays, those that have remained unclaimed are now in our spare welly tray.  A few children still do not have their own wellies in Pre-School.  Please do provide a pair of named wellies for Pre-School, although we have spares, the children prefer to have their own.

We now know that we have raised an impressive £1000 from Brill fete.  We need a lot of volunteers to help us with this event, please do let us know if you are able to help next year.  We still have a long way to go before we reach the target needed for Class 1's garden.  We also hope to raise money for a staff/meeting room.

 This week in Class 1 the children created playdough cup cakes, the have also been exploring the mud kitchen.  The children have created marks using the cars and trains and have role played as firemen and ladies.  We have discovered how pasta changes when we add water to it and we have learnt lots of new songs.

This week in Class 2 the children have been making 'chocolate soup' in the mud kitchen.  We will be continuing this interest and making chocolate soup with melted chocolate on Wednesday and Thursday.  We have made a display of the children's front doors, it has been lovely to look at all the similarities and differences.  The children have started to make suggestions for the Class bear's name, next week we will pick a name from the bag!  This week we have started to introduce poem's, the children have joined in with all the words and actions to 'chop, chop'.  Yesterday we started helicopter stories, the children make up a story and we scribe it for them, it is then acted out on our 'stage'.

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
