HAPPY EASTER !

Broadway Playschool (The 2-3 group) enjoyed making choc Easter nests and they made some beautiful collage eggs by scrunching and tearing tissue paper.

Thursday we had a egg hunt and all enjoyed eating the bunny ! 

There is some lovely role play and conversations taking place.

At Forest school - The children had fun cooking marshmallows over an open fire. They also had crumpets and pancakes!  On Friday the Easter egg hunters left 5 eggs unfound – some creature will have a yummy treat !

At Towerview Playschool – the pasta role play continued and the children made some lovely egg collages. The tasty Easter chocolate shredded wheat cakes –complete with eggs and chicks -  the children made were excellent – they followed instructions to make them really well- & they said were yummy!

The pre-school children went to reception again for a story – they were so well behaved the supply teacher commented on them and gave them all a sticker!  We were so proud of them!

Tuesday - we had a nice spring walk seeing the lambs.

Football on the school field on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons was great fun - one girl said “I loved it you know how many goals I got? 57” !! Then we took them round the field on the ‘train’ stopping off to let the children off and lie down on the grass to listen to all the spring sounds in the spring sun.

The tadpoles should have limbs developing by the time we return !!

Have a happy Easter all

& see you the week starting Monday 28^{th April.}

SIGHTS SOUNDS SMELLS & TASTES !

At Broadway Playschool,  the 2-3year olds have been  learning "who's got the glasses on" game- doing really well.

We have witnessed lots of role play,  copying adults roles - for example -a member of staff was doing observations – suddenly there was a whole row of children with pads and pens, mark-making/writing, copying her making observations !!

There have been some lovely fine motor skills developing when filling up bottles and ice cube trays with dried pasta,

And excellent singing and dancing at circle time!

Towerview Playschool

On Wednesday at Forest School all the children had a fabulous time making hedgehogs out of clay, they were all keen to have a go and the hedgehogs are drying out on a plank ready to go home.

This week our ‘Tap Tap’ Art seemed to be very popular – creating some excellent pictures from wood pieces and nails on cork mats and there has been some excellent mark making outside with big chalks.

At circle time one day – we go into little groups and did our syllable clapping and ‘sounds like’ games – the children are getting good at hearing letter sounds. We also practiced matching up instruments from behind a screen which takes a lot of listening skills.

Thursday – we all made pizzas – from scratch – it took until 1pm but the children worked hard making the dough – letting it prove then rolling and putting their choice of toppings on- yum yum!

Before forest school on Friday – because the children had seen a flapjack recipe in our cookbook – we quickly made some flapjack before we set off- we went to the bottom site – which we haven’t been in since before Xmas  - where we found lots of daffodils and twigs and branches that had fallen from the trees over the winter.
