ourselves !

This week the children have been looking at themselves in the mirror and drawing some fabulous portraits. They have been looking to see what colour eyes they have, what kind of hair and expressions.
They have made biscuit faces -decorated with various sweets to make the features - counting out how many eyes etc they need and selecting which colour to choose.


At Forest school they have been learning to saw sections of silver birch - standing behind the rope to watch when not actually sawing (with an adult). They are learning the rules of the Forest and how to keep themselves safe.


Back in Playschool they then took turns in drilling a hole into the sections of wood they had previously sawed. They were very proud of the results.


At Broadway Playschool there has been a lot of sifting and sorting of sand into sieves and buckets and transporting chalks and counting them out too. The children have been excellent at playing 'What's in the box ?' with one child leading while staff stand back. Their dancing has come on with some very good 'moves' to the tumble tots CD.
