Spring Term Week 12

Our week has been full of visitors and trips and we have had such a lovely time! We loved welcoming all of the parents in on Monday and Tuesday for the Easter craft mornings and there are some lovely photos on the gallery and we have had lots of parent help and grandparent help for the trips to the milkshake shed and St Andrew’s Church too.

We have been collecting in the Easter Egg design entries and will be awarding the prizes on the first day back after the Easter holiday to each winner and 2nd and 3rd place in the Sun and Moon and Star groups.

This week we have continued our number focus outside in between the rain showers, we have enjoyed our mud kitchen as well making mud hot cross buns complete with stick crosses. The children have enjoyed different tray activities that Andrea has set out undercover and we even had enough sunshine for the mini solar fountains to work on Thursday!

The week of show and tell has also been a great success – we have a few items that have gone astray which we will search for when we clear up today. The children have loved sharing their treasures with friends and their confidence has grown over the week, enabling everyone to talk about their special item in front of a group. The school role play has also been brilliant fun and some hilarious observations of children reminding each other about rules! There are certainly some very gifted teachers for future generations!

Forest School has continued in the almost dry conditions on Thursday and definitely wet conditions on Friday! Our tadpoles are now out by the pond as they have legs at the back now and we will keep caring for them until they are big enough to climb out onto the log and hop into the pond.

Our circle times have focused on how and why, show and tell and Easter with our two trips out as well! The children have learnt how to use a sewing machine this week with Louise W. The Stars have loved their Easter week of craft and colour and eggs hunts outside!

We wish you all a very happy two weeks off and hope they are filled with fun and chocolate and happy times. We look forward to welcoming you all back from the 17th April onwards.
