summer is here ! (e hope)

The sun is out yippee! and the children have been making the most of it -  playing outside a lot.  Some running around and around like spring lambs - building boats and dens and others exploring the tulips flowering  from bulbs planted in the Autumn. Discovering the differences that are inside the petals, colours, patterns, shapes and number of stamens -  even though the flower heads are similar colours. It has been a great talking point.

 

We have taken advantage of the warm weather having snack outside and going on a walk to see the lambs in the fields.

We had a 'Regal' session - where the projector is set up to show all their achievements recorded from last term. The children gather around set up their chairs and even pretend to have boxes of popcorn!

Our student from Worcester University read  'Handa's Surprise' and used the story sack to fully involve all the children. They then made prepared and ate a tropical fruit salad using fruit named in the story.

WELCOME BACK !

Hello everyone and welcome back to the summer term!

It has been a lovely week of sunshine and showers.

The pirate and superhero role play goes from strength to strength and we have introduced school clothes into the mix now!

The children have been spending much of the day outside - chalking , sand play and rushing around role playing and building up those muscles.

The still life drawings and paintings of flowers are very interesting. At forest school they have been using magnifiers to look inside the daffodils and study the budding trees. The children are getting good at folding their forest school overalls and coats now.

We have some new children who are beginning to settle -  this also gives the older children a chance to show how they can look after others and empathise.

We are continuing to visit the school hall for PE sessions and are arranging to have a story time in the reception class very soon.
