Father's Day -experiments and caterpillars!

Last week we made 'Love' cards with felt - the children learnt how to tease the different coloured wools and over lay them - then sprinkle with hot soapy water and roll to make felt. The red heart shape we then placed on each creation -which when glued onto card resulted in beautiful felt heart cards . At Forest School -using double sided sticky tape we collected different flora and stuck them onto book marks for presents to take home.

Continuing our theme of experimenting - we looked at corn flour,  and mixed it with water - you can hit it with  a hammer or stand on it if you make it thick enough !

The caterpillars are growing well - and as one child said - " they will be making their canoes  soon" (cocoons)!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The children water all out flowers and runner beans each day - we also have the clematis out and a pumpkin plant that now has pride of place in the raised bed !

At Broadway Playschool-the 2-3 s have been playing with bubbles, blowing, catching, popping !! We are enjoying the Three bears story, with naughty Goldilocks !! Children are loving the water and sand play , mixing, pouring, building, feeling, all very experimental and sensory.

The school transition visits have started and seem to be going well, the children are enjoying reporting back to us from their various new schools.  Children attending Broadway First went for lunches this week - and loved the experience.

If Parents have any questions they need to discuss about their child at Playschool  -then please chat to your child's key person or any of the staff team. Thank you.

 

 

 

WELCOME BACK TO 2ND PART OF THE SUMMER TERM!

This week we have been busy making lost of things - looking again at different materials and properties. We have made sun-catchers -out of melted beads-  they will be drilled next week so that they can be hung up. We experimented with air propelled balloon rockets, a great fun activity to do at home too.  Instructions for this are available at playschool.  We made a mini ocean - mixing water oil paint.  The beans planted before half term have sprouted and the children are caring for them by watering them daily.

We got some lovely photos from home during their holiday to add to their folders and to the display clock.  

We had a Local authority advisor visit us and were complimented on what a great setting we had.

We are exercising our tongues with a new story this helps develop the muscles for clearer speech and hearing word sounds.  So if your child is exercising their tongues at home don't be surprised.

keep bringing in any items for junk modelling there have been some amazing creations!!!

Broadway Playschool - (the little group) have been enjoying the water play and are now enjoying the Goldilocks's and the three bears story.
We've been enjoying some new challenging activities in our PE sessions over at the school - crab walking and side stepping around cones.

We've made use of the outdoors with the good weather hats and sunscreen are advised and the weather was so good Friday we stayed and had a picnic style lunch at forest school.
