SETTLING INTO PLAYSCHOOL

This week the children have been enjoying the rain- dancing around with umbrellas. Building boats and cars out of crates and blocks and enjoying running races in our outdoor space.

We have been baking using the apples from the 'little one's' apple tree - we have made apple cake, bread rolls and a bread hedgehog. Everyone loved 'thumping and folding' the dough!

One of the children - after looking in a toy supplier catalogue suggested a different way to layout the train set - so the children all worked together to redesign the area and it has proved very popular. 

The story of the Bear Hunt is becoming a favourite and we all stomped around the forest school today as we acted out the story.

Jo has started her ECAT training - Every Child  A Talker - we will be introducing new techniques of working to improve the children's language development.

The annual questionnaires were very positive, with a few good suggestions - which we have taken on board.   95% of families were very happy with the building, atmosphere of the group, helpfulness of the staff and with the overall service the Playschool provides. Thank you all for your input.
