HAPPY NEW YEAR & WELCOME BACK !

 
Welcome to the spring term to all our returning families and new children & families who have just started with playschool.

With the colder weather we are making sure we get lots of time to run around outside while keeping warm by play PE games that involve lots of movement - including running around outside area playing "stop and Go" game, some lovely laughter and turn taking.

At the 2-3 group, we did lots of comparing sizes, big and small. Painting light colours on dark paper, & had a fabulous  music and dance time-  full of fun !
 
Some of the  children did  lovely black and white foot and Hand printing activity one afternoon
Our student led a great activity collecting big and little leaves at forest school :)
SHOP ROLE PLAY  - this has been a real success with lots of lovely role play in the shop.
Children have also been role playing taking register - copying staff and mark making on pads.
 
 "I should have gone to Spec savers"! .... Certainly all the fun the children have had trying the new selection of glasses on.
 
'Cinderella' and 'Spider-Man' got married yesterday - the newly wed bride then turned to her husband and said "we don't have any babies yet, we will just have to be patient won't we".
 
On of the staff,  who is regularly used for life drawing, had another portrait done of her this week, this time in play dough!...different!....that really did make her laugh !
We revisited "what's in the box" game and the children have really enjoyed our new "hot dog" game to introduce the new children to every one this term.
 
Some lovely friendships are being made now.
