LADYBIRDS & SNOW SHOWERS!

Hello ! 
This week we have been busy studying ladybirds - their features and where they like to live.
The children have enjoyed making clay ladybirds and collages and seeing what bugs we can find at Forest school and in the Playschool gardens. The children have been reading about mini beast and 'looking things up' on the computer.

some of the children built an amazing 'zoo' outside - utilising all the construction materials we have - complete with animals and 4 zoo keepers!

At Broadway Playschool the little ones have been busy chalking and making prints, painting spots on ladybird shaped paper, playing with oats and exploring the story of 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears'. The staff have been using the puppet theatre to tell the story through and the children have loved it !

We have been watching the weather and any of the snow showers we have had we have been out dancing and trying to catch snow flakes on black paper.

The transition visits to the reception class at Broadway First School have started. We take all the children going up to school even if this isn't the school they will be going to. We talk to them about going to 'school' - exploring what a classroom is like and then we can look at all the different schools in our School photo book back in Playschool.  We are still also using the school hall once  week so the children get used to being in a school hall environment.
