HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU ALL !

Lots of activities covered these last two weeks from colour mixing, ice cream making, drilling, sawing and whittling in forest school to watching Jo cover herself and everything within a metre in cornflour, this got the biggest laugh from the children, Jo had fun too!

Some of the children have enjoyed setting up role play areas outside using the various resources available. We have enjoyed watching the children become scientists and experiment with the different ‘food colouring’ water, whilst seeing what 'new' colours they could make.

The children going up to school had their last sessions in their respective schools and our last visiting reception teacher came and did yoga with us!

The children have been busy making their clay bugs ready for the Broadway Horticultural  Show in September.

At Broadway Playschool the 2-3 yr group are enjoying being outside all session and are loving the bubbles !

The Tower Walk was fabulous – the children were all brilliant and it was great fun sliding and rolling down the hill – Becky led the rolling and was hilarious! They also enjoyed making their own sandwiches on our return & eating the jelly we made on the Monday and our homemade ice cream too!!

THANKYOU ALL FOR ALL OUR LOVELY CARDS AND PRESSIES !

Look out for our fab Ofsted reports which you can view on their website: www.ofsted.gov.uk/reports.

KEEPING COOL BY THE POOL !

This week the heat got to all of us - so we endeavoured to keep cool by spending time at forest school under the tree canopy and paddling in the tuff trays - making foot prints & watching as they disappeared!

At Broadway Playschool- the water play and bubbles continue to be a favourite and as usual fun was had dancing to the 'animal boogie woogie' !   Many are trying mark making with the chalks and building up their fine and gross motor skills ( needed for writing)  using the brushes and rollers.

At Towerview - clay proved to be a big hit - making mini beast for Broadway's September Horticultural Show.

The 'leavers' going to Broadway First School, went for their 1st real school dinners in the hall
- we were very proud of the way they conducted themselves - they tried all their dinner and said 'please and thank you' to the dinner ladies- who were very helpful.  It was lovely that the older school children helped our young ones, helped them with their dinner tray, with open toilet doors and accessing the drinks fountains. They also kept an eye on them when we went out to play in the BIG playground. Thank you Broadway First School children.  

Big box play saw the children working together to problem solve making 'houses' - they painted them with rollers and carpeted them - they also drew plans. Our Ofsted Inspector who was in  seemed very impressed by their organisational and creative skills.

The sour dough starter for our bread stinks - but we are hoping it will work. The volcano experiment was really exciting and the children are hoping to try it out at forest school and in the dough !!

TOWERWALK SLIPS need to be back in next week- thank you!
