Welcome to this weeks blog post. 

This week in Class 1 the children made cakes with playdough and mud, they then made some real cakes!  The children explored a variety of sensory materials such as shaving foam, gloop and cloud dough.  We had a big box delivered, the children have been exploring ways to get into the box and used scissors to make holes in it.  This week the children made lots of marks with paint and pencils.

This week in Class 2 the children have been making 'chocolate soup' by melting chocolate.  They then dipped some fruit in it to try, we had lots of conversations around how we could melt the chocolate!  On Tuesday we went to Forest School, we found treasure and thought that the pirates had left it!  We wrote the pirates a letter and made them a treasure map, we left it at Forest School for them to find.  Some of the children showed interest in the Gingerbread man story, we will be making some next week.  The class made up some classroom rules this week, we will be making a display for them to use as a reminder!  Before the summer holidays we asked the children how we could improve Pre-School, one child said a rainbow so we made one!  We also have some more frozen dresses (another request from the children).  We have introduced a new poem this week called 'pointy hat'.  The children have made lots of suggestions for the class bear, we put all the names into a bag and picked one out....the bear is called Benny!

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
