STICK MAN IN ITALY

This week ‘stickman ‘had been to Italy to look for his ‘family tree’. He didn’t find it but he did have some good adventures.  The children made Italy’s national flag – copying an example and hung them up to make a lovely display.

All the children enjoyed making pizzas, this included making the dough from scratch and making the pizza base using rolling pins or their hands. Then they had to help cut up the different toppings, and decide what they want on their pizza. One child made a face out the toppings on their pizza. They looked and tasted yummy!

We have also made real ice cream together in Jo’s mum’s ice cream make – Thank you Jo’s Mum!

It was lovely to see how they were re-enacting the ‘Stickman’ story after story time with Stickman props from the story sack. There was lots of interaction between the children and staff. Great fun.

Outside they have been making swimming pools using the foam blocks then using chalks to colour the ground blue for the water.  Just the weather for outdoor swimming !

Some of the girls in the group enjoyed pretending to be fire fighters and put out the "fire" using the hoses.

At Broadway Playschool the children followed the recipe for oat biscuits on Monday, then we made savoury oat cakes on Wednesday. They really concentrated, weighing out the ingredients and helped stir and roll out the mixture. They all enjoyed sitting on the big tyre outside to have a winter picnic - munching oat cakes!
