THINGS THAT GO ‘BRUUMMM!’

At Towerview Playschool on Monday, Jude brought her car into the outside area – the children especially liked the horn beeping and the hazard lights flashing. Everyone enjoyed looking around the car and there were lots of clever questions asked when we looked at the engine.  Jo showed everyone how to check the oil – we were all impressed !

 We have been busy stencil painting vehicles, making tracks on paper with car tyres and junk modelling vehicles rockets and other creations.  Some of the children are really
enjoying making all sorts with the junk modelling – what very creative children we have!

The story ‘Room on a Broom ‘ started a discussion about whether or not a broom is ‘transport’!!

At Forest School exploring how the cold is affecting the woodland and trying to dig the hard soil has been fun. We made ‘dragon breath’ when we stopped for hot chocolate.

On Friday, we let toy cars down a ramp and measured the different distances they travelled in cm with a tape measure.  Lots of enjoyment with picking their own cars, placing on the guttering
and seeing whose went the furthest.

Some wonderful junk modelling is happening at Broadway Playschool,

The children are really enjoying the cellotape experience !

 

 

WELCOME TO ALL RETURNING AND NEW FAMILIES - HAPPY 2015 !

It was lovely to see everyone back all so excited after the Christmas break. There were lots of conversations about Christmas and presents and Christmas trees.

-      Jude said she got a bag of coal to which one child replied

“No Jude what did you really get from Santa?” !!!

It was a great first week back with couple of new ones who have settled really well. One morning was spent looking at items that had been frozen. We got the ice out of the freezer this morning as a big group activity, they were all really involved, We put the different frozen items outside on the tuff tray and the children came up with lots of ideas- estimating which one would melt the quickest.

Completing our ‘weather’ theme form last term the children painted some lovely rainbow pictures.

One afternoon we played the Lycra game which they all really enjoyed t and Beck read ‘Monkey Puzzle’ story –they love joining in with the refrain “Butterfly Butterfly   that’s not my Mum....” !!!

Great to see lots of language being used in the kitchen and cafe area (role play)- the new cooker has proved a big favourite and although the weather hasn’t been great this week it was good to get out and have a blast on the bikes!

We would like to extend a warm welcome to the new children this term and we are looking forward to a great new year.
