BROADWAY LATE NIGHT SHOPPING & CHRISTMAS TREE FESTIVAL

This week the children have been busy making all sorts of Christmas decorations ready to take to the United reformed Church to hang on our Playschool Christmas tree in the church.
They have been concentrating hard to follow the instructions to make peg reindeers and hand print reindeers and corn flour decorations.

It has been a cold week so we have been wrapping up warm for outdoor play.
On Thursday the walk up to the church was wind y cold and bright. Everyone did 'good walking' holding the ribbon and the tree looked lovely after each child had hung their decoration.
Do visit the Playschool Christmas Tree at the UR church festival at either late night shopping on 25th November or 2nd December.

At forest school this week we have lit the kelly kettle in the fire pit and had yummy banana custard as well as hot chocolate while we sat around base camp. The mud kitchen continues to be very popular.

OOH LA LA !


As part of our “trip” ‘around the world’ Marcus (our puppet) has set off with his suitcase by plane, train and automobile !



We have looked at France this week. The children have enjoyed making croissants, rolling and shaping the dough and once cooked taking them home to eat. They have also enjoyed making French flags and being introduced to a French song – ‘Frere Jacques’. We looked a different things in the setting and tried to find out what they were called in French too.



The dark den continues to be enjoyed and using the torches in the den – the children are getting very good at returning the torches to be re -charged


At Broadway Playschool the little ones have been using the story sack to help tell "Goldilocks and the Three bears" story at circle time. It has been lovely to see them playing with the oats and re-enacting the story during their free- play. They have been doing the bears voices and feeding them oats.
