the caterpillars became butterflies this week!!

All our butterflies hatch this week - we actually saw one coming out of the cocoons while we were eating our lunch!   Then on Friday in forest school, we released them.  They took a while to fly away but nice to think they were playing in the forest with us.

One of the bean plants is growing up one of the outside pillars and the children have got very interested in the story of 'Jack and the bean stalk'. They have been drawing bean stalks - measuring the plants progress and role playing the story. We have also been block printing butterflies and caterpillars printing

The sour dough worked well and all the children helped with every stage -resulting in a lovely loaf of bread - they then toasted and had with Alison's jam at snack time.

The school transition days have been successful with one of the children over heard saying to another;-  "I think I am excited about going to big school now". They have also been looking in the schools photo album and trying on school uniforms in the role play.
 

REMINDER =  your child needs a high factor sunscreen put on before playschool ( we top it up at lunch time).
Also for forest school your child needs long sleeve t-shirt, leggings/trousers and a sun hat- they also need socks to go inside their welly boots.
