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!
