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.
