I hope you are all well.  Thank you for all of the email updates, it is lovely to see how much fun you are all having.

I have spotted lots of eggs, rainbows and bears around Brill, have you spotted Benny bear yet?  He is missing all of the children, give him a wave if you see him!

Here are some more ideas for activities to try at home.

  • You could freeze some animals, dinosaurs of people in ice then use whatever you can find to help them escape.
  • You could paint some rocks or stones that you find on your daily walk.
  • Why not try Cosmic kids yoga on you tube?

Here is something we have tried at Pre-School before
No paper
And this
Big 2The children love to make up their own stories and act them out on the stage, why don't you create a story telling tin together.

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!

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
