summer is here !

This week our experiments continued with ice cream making - using cream - strawberries and sugar - the children all had a go at sieving and whisking - and then we had to put the timer on so we remembered to stir it every 20 minutes during the sessions- it was yummy !!

Colour mixing involving food colouring -water - syringes and mixing dishes enabled the children to select and mix colours - they created a simple tally chart to log their finds.

We continue to have reception teachers popping in to talk about the children going up to their schools and for us to share information about each child's development and needs. It is good for the teachers to see the children in the playschool and to watch them at work.

Our end of term trip to Sand field Farm, nr Sedgeberrow was fabulous ! Emma who manages and runs the site took us pond dipping -we found water boat men , newts and dragon flies amongst many insects. We saw calves, pigs and chickens and tractors and milk floats. By shaking a jar of cream and passing it around the children found they had made some butter !   We then all had a picnic lunch in the forest area, where we lit the Kelly-kettle and made banana custard.  
The journey back in the mini buses saw 2 children fall asleep - the children &staff team were brilliant and we had a lovely day !

NOTICE - soon on the web site there will be  a link for parents about digital /e-safety - how to protect your child with all the technology they come into contact with- check this out ;-
