Hi all - we are open as normal
- snow quite deep in places in Broadway this morning but the roads are clear.
We won't be doing Forest school - but may tog up and explore snow for short time and then come back inside for hot chocolate!
Take care getting in and ensure your child has warm clothes & warm waterproof coat. Thankyou.

Starting our 'Around the world ' theme - the children came up with what they knew about travel and countries. They have looked at a globe and world map and discussed where they go on holiday. They then packed for' Marcus' the puppet -including sun cream, binoculars, camera and toys: and after making an aeroplane out of chairs and planks of wood they took him off to the 'apartment'- complete with cooker and play food!
We've had a look inside the forest school rucksack and what we pack inside to go
to forest school. There were lots of contributions from the children who identifying the different
items from the bag, why and what we use them for i.e. first aid kit, clip boards,
picture charts, Mr Nuts, potato peelers for whittling etc. One child even said "Tracy you do have allot of things from Boots"- he recognised the logo!
The
children have been involved in making some great Forest school maps using
collage and had a go at making binoculars! Staff are updating paediatric first aid for the next 4 Thursday evenings 7 until 10pm - making sure we can all keep the children safe and well. We have to do this every 3 years.
Parents working with the Apple Vale Children Centre staff at a story sacks workshop have been into Playschool to watch how staff perform the stories using the props and will be trialling their own creations on our children.
It will be cool to hear the children's response!
PLAYSCHOOL SNOW CLOSURES WILL BE POSTED ON THIS BLOG BEFORE 8am
on the morning of the closure
