THE GREAT BRITISH POTATO !

Our cooking this week involved thinking about where potatoes come from and what we can use them for. There was playing with potatoes in the role play- counting ,weighing and sorting. Scraping, cleaning and chopping potatoes to make chips - which were yummy with ketchup! We also use potatoes to do mono printing. Later in the week we made chocolate cornflakes cakes because one of the children had spotted the recipe in our cookbook and we all through it a good idea.

The children were really creative with their chalking outside this week, some lovely colours mixed with water to paint the floor and the outside of the playhouse. 

On Tuesday we all enjoyed a tour around the First School. We saw all the school children working in their classrooms, met the administrator Mrs Freaney and had a chat with head teacher Dr Browning in her office, before going in to the reception class and checking out their toilets !

The children enjoyed using their imagination outdoors by creating a stage, using a variety of materials and negotiating this was completed and they then went about to show their talent off. 

Lovely forest school session, some children showing great strength using the climbing tree and everyone really enjoyed listening to the robins calling back to Jude's soft toy bird - 'Randolf Robin' !

The Broadway Playschool children continue to enjoy water play with all of them very involved with getting water to go through the waterfall stacker - which when placed on a chair in the water play really worked - it also fell over a lot and we all got a bit wet!  

Lovely outside seeing all the bulbs coming up and looking at the woodlice.
