Baby it's cold outside !

Even though it has been bitterly cold this week, some of the children have enjoyed having a blast on the bikes and scooters. We have enjoyed finding ice in the tyres and tuff tray – making our fingers ssooooooo cooooold !

RSPB BIRD WATCH - Great to see so many children enjoying the bird watching area, then looking in the books to see if they can find one that they've seen.

Musicians in the making singing "push the button to make it go" song for flushing the loo !

The junk modelling is still going with even more fantastical models being made. Some excellent vehicle pictures were made out of 2D shapes too.

At Broadway Playschool  the children have been exploring the dried pasta table - filling big and small containers, pouring and practising how to hold and use the tongs to transfer the pieces of pasta from one container to another - lots of concentrating!!  Also making shakers, using the tweezers to pick pieces up, counting, more or less, full, empty – lots and lots of ‘learning through play’!

Outside the children really enjoyed the balls in the paddling pool, colour matching & counting & rolling them down the guttering and transporting them around the room in baskets.

 

REMINDER – sending in a piece of fruit or veg each week helps us offer more variety for the children’s snack time – thankyou !

INTO THE SCHOOL HALL FOR THE BEETLE CRAWL !

This week we started using the school hall as part of the transition to get the children used to a school environment. Everyone had fun being beetles and snakes as we crawled, jumped and balanced during P.E.  It was great to see the children getting used to the hall and some really great ‘slithering like snakes’ going on!

Junk modelling is popular at the moment; the children have been very imaginative and created some brilliant models including aeroplanes, rockets, 'houses with chimneys' and 'boats with engines'.

They enjoyed finishing off the traffic light biscuits after wee made the biscuits and then iced them and put sweets on them. They all knew stop = RED, get ready= ORANGE and  Go = GREEN !
