HAVE A VERY HAPPY SUMMER FROM US ALL !

Our walk from Broadway Tower back to Playschool took place this week. It was fabulous how well the children all walked and it was fun watching them enjoy Tracy B’s Billy Goats Gruff performance at snack time – some walkers stopped to listen too !!!.  Sarah & Angie noticed that the children all behaved so well and loved looking out for sheep poo !!

Jo reported that she has loved watching a few of the children reading their favourite stories to the rest of the group, and they have all sat and listened so well! Tracy B noted that one boy told everyone the 3 little pig’s story on Monday afternoon ! He was brilliant!

At Broadway Playschool the ‘little ones’ have enjoyed water play , transporting water, filling up , and LOTS of splashing !!! 

At Towerview Playschool lots of children have enjoyed playing and getting wet in the water play, then drying off in the hot weather we've had during our last week.

Alison and Jo supported the children to do some excellent painting pebble animals for the village Horticultural show ( Sept 6^th ).  Hope we win the cup again !!!

The slide show proved popular – parents and family enjoying and celebrating the children’s successes over the last two terms.

We said ‘goodbye’ & thank you to our students Katie and Katherine this week – we wish them all the best in their future careers.

Goodbye and good luck to all our children leaving us to begin their school journey, it has been lots of fun getting to know you at Playschool and we will miss you !

Love from all the Playschool Team.

     WE START BACK ON MONDAY  8^TH SEPTEMBER

Forest school trip to Sandfield Farm

We all really enjoyed the farm trip, was lovely seeing all the children have so much fun playing in the mud - even though they lost their wellies and were rolling in it like little piglets!  

 

 We saw real pigs, farm dogs and chickens - including a huge cockerel - there was a cow about to calf !

 The children enjoyed loosing their wellies in the squelchy mud whilst exploring what the forest had to offer. 

They loved walking round the forest and acted out 'going on a bear hunt' with some of the children making the noises like in the mud ‘squelch squelch’ etc!

 

We all gathered around the camp fire  cooking and eating, twice – pancakes at snack time and then toasting marshmallows after lunch.

 

Two children fell asleep on the coach on the way home !

An excellent trip ! The children behaved really well and all took more mud home with them as a souvenir !! 

 

A big thank you to Emma for allowing us to use the farm

 

 

ROAD SAFETY & VISIT TO THE DOCTORS SURGERY

The visit to doctors surgery was fantastic all the children were really good . They sat brilliantly and listened well while Dr Hughes spoke to them. They were all enthusiastic to volunteer to have temperature use the stethoscope to listen to each other's heartbeats.  He put glitter glue  on hands to show them how germs spread. He showed them models of  how the heart looks and your feet. All children were fantastic great walking and practising crossing using the pedestrian crossing in the village. 

There has been masses of excellent communication and interaction going on this week with building things with different materials and listening to each others ideas.  Some great team work going on and one boy said ‘wow this has been the best day ever!’ once finished building a huge ‘palace’ role play in the whole outdoor area with a few peers.

 

We have been looking at how to cross the road safely, making traffic light biscuits and have made a stop /go sign for the bikes !
