Welcome to this week’s blog post.

This week in Class 1 the children have shown an interest in making dens, so we have been using various things to make them both inside and out.  On Monday the children went to Forest School, they spent the time exploring the site.  The children have made their own playdough and we have started to practise Christmas songs.


This week in Class 2 we have been making Rangoli patterns with rice and flowers.  We have also introduced the children to the playdough station where they can independently make their own.  Following on from the interests last week, we added the wooden car to the class room, the children have been travelling in the car together.  
In the garden we have been making 'medicines' in the mud kitchen and some of the children helped us clear the leaves!
We learnt a new poem 'falling apples' and even started to learn some Christmas songs!!!
The pirates had visited Forest School again and left the children items to make leaf decorations, we also tried to make a rope swing again and this time it worked! 


Please help us raise money for Class 1's garden by ordering your Christmas tree with us.

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
