OURSELVES !


BROADWAY PLAYSCHOOL- the 2-3 group, are all settling in so well !

Lots of role play and conversations witnessed. Helping each other along the crates and planks, balancing and holding hands.
 
The play house has been very busy this week with the children initiating the popular idea of it being an ice cream stall! 

We are also enjoying new stories =’Kippers toy box’ and ‘I wrote to the zoo’- the children are really enjoying joining in with the stories.


AT TOWERVIEW PLAYSCHOOL

Jo & Jude saw Warwick Castle constructed twice this week, as they were building – one child told us, " we're building Warwick Castle but it's not like Warwick Castle"

Jo had some helpers making the height chart, and one child made her own giraffe one and it was brilliant, we think she's named it ‘Rose’!

It was great to see some of the group working together, helping each other on logs and planks and really taking care of one another. 
 
On Friday  morning we popped into the MacMillan Coffee morning and bought a cake each to eat at Forest school   - yum !!
 
 
!!!! REMEMBER YOUR CHILD NEEDS THEIR WELLIES ON WEDS OR FRI MORNINGS FOR FOREST SCHOOL !!!!!

SETTLING - AUTUMN & COOKING !!!


Been a great 2nd week back, seeing new friendships form. It is amazing how well all the new children from Broadway Playschool seem to have settled in at Towerview Playschool this year!


The children have had fun getting to know each other and the staff team -  we've been "rolling the ball" to each other and playing the "empty chair" game

Fun was had at our first Forest School session, with climbing, digging and exploring all taking place. We had a lovely morning, then in the afternoon went for a little walk to collect conkers. When we got back some lovely role play was witnessed.

Some of the children have enjoyed making scones and getting messy while learning about quantities –‘ full’ / and ‘not full’


All the children at Broadway Playschool have been enjoying our lovely new water play – thanks to donations from our ‘leaver ‘ families – THANKYOU !

WELCOME TO THE AUTUMN TERM

Welcome to all our families new and old!

The children have come in and mostly settled quickly some needing a bit more time and reassurance.

The 'roll the ball and say your name game' has been fun - and we are all beginning to get to know each other.

We have been making some hedgerow muffins today for the Food Festival Sunday and have entries from last term for the Horticultural Show on Saturday.   Both on the village green.
The children really enjoyed using the electric cake mixer and putting in the blackberries they had picked the previous day.

Forest school sessions will start next week - Weds & Fridays

Our theme this half term will be 'all about ourselves ' - learning about each other too !
