SPRING HAS SPRUNG

What a lovely week - warm mild weather has meant we can be outside without coats and hats - what a treat ! Pancake day saw the children flinging small pieces of pancake up in the air in their plastic frying pans - they also made the batter and wrote recipes. Everyone enjoyed muching their way through the pile of pancakes made!
Some excellent tulip relief printing was achieved on Thursday and was developed from a child's idea of pressing objects into mud at forest school.
The older children started their transition visits to Broadway First school reception class this week, where they enjoyed looking around the recption class, having a story and playing the outside area.

CHINESE NEW YEAR OF THE WATER DRAGON

Chinese stir fry was a great success !
Excellent chopping skills were observed, placing vegetables and noodles into the wok and a lovely dish eaten and
enjoyed by most. Some children tried different vegetables for the first time.
YUM
YUM !!
It was a great way for us to share and experience of food from another
culture.
The children also made folded paper Chinese water dragons – showing their
increasing concentration skills and ability to follow a sequence of
instructions.
