Have a very Happy Christmas & peaceful New Year

A week full of Christmas preparations  - making Xmas bauble cards at Broadway Playschool – with plenty of glitter – meanwhile at Towerview the children have been finishing the Xmas calendars, making Satsuma pomanders – or ‘panandas’  as one child said- and making Xmas pudding cakes. We have had fake snow to play with – lovely and fluffy and warm!

We have had allot of children off with sickness & the other (!) – please remember the 48hour rule ( =48 hours from last bout)  so that we prevent the spread of this illness.

The cold weather has leant itself to frosty Forest School sessions – making footprints in the frost & finding frosty leaves. The mud kitchen has been very popular – mixing up pancakes and stews  !!!

On Thursday our Christmas Sing Song was very well attended by parents & carers – the children sang their hearts out and everyone sang   ‘we wish you a merry Xmas ‘  and we do !!!& a Happy New Year!

 

Last week this week–with Xmas party on Friday with a visit from Father Xmas !!!

 

Back on Monday 5^th January 2015 – have a great holiday everyone !

FROSTY MORNINGS – ‘IT’S RUSTY!’

= One child's response to seeing the frosty leaves !

At Broadway Playschool this week, it was a very sparkly week - potatoes were used to paint with, and topped off with plenty of glitter - the children's bauble cards were beautiful!

We have explored the ice on the pavements and grass & at forest school collected frost covered leaves.

Towerview children had a lovely walk down the village to see beautiful shop Christmas displays. 

Playschool Committee met and while checking everything was in order, they heard a report of last year’s events and achievements and the training completed by staff. The committee have also all completed their updated safeguarding training.

We enjoyed lots of lovely hand and feet painting going on to make a backdrop for our SING SONG on Thursday 11^th Dec 11am. The children are doing lovely singing to Mary's knitting and other Xmas songs in preparation- so it should be a treat !
