Christmas preparations !

This week the children have been exploring the dark den and looking at shadows in the shadow theatre they made.  There is much superhero role-play going on which involves princesses and baddies !

Despite the water issue - the staff team have been magnificent in ensuring the children only come into contact with bottled water until the problem is solved.

We have been rehearsing the Xmas songs and rhymes and the kids are getting really good - singing and acting their hearts out!

Towerview Playschool children enjoyed a walk down to Broadway Playschool today so the children could decorate our Christmas tree in the United Reformed Church. The tree looks fab - check it out at the late night shopping events in Broadway this Friday an  next. We all has snack together and the 'little ones' coped very well with the invasion !  It was a beautiful crisp winter's day and they also explored a big sheet of ice found in a tuff tray outside.

 

LIGHT & DARK THEME

As we head in to the murky winter months and looking at the children's recent interest in shadows, light, and the moon - has led to the development of this theme of light & dark to plan activities to.

The children enjoyed making T-light holders out of clay this week for the Hindu festival of Diwali on Thursday.  They were made indoors, and outside at forest school and  decorated with autumn leaves, twigs and the children explored making patterns in the clay using the same items. They look really lovely (and will make their way home as soon as they are dry!).

The children have also been doing self portraits, looking in the mirror and observing their faces, colour of eyes, shapes of facial features and how many they have of each feature.  They drew some fantastic faces, a selection of which can be seen with photos on the display at Playschool.  Do have a look.

We enjoyed an afternoon walk down the village to look at the decorated Christmas windows, we visited the Christmas shop, said 'hello' to the postman who was collecting the letters form the post office and one child saw his house in the shop window!
