EXPLORING THEIR ENVIRONMENT


It has been lovely getting to know the children and their families who have started with us this term. The children have continued to settle in, with some of them making great strides in their toileting and getting changed for yoga and forest school.  



They have enjoyed observing their facial features in the mirror and drawing a self portraits and have really enjoyed building outside with the blocks, planks and crates.

At forest school the children have also enjoyed exploring the outdoor environment and looking for insects.



Next door to Towerview Playschool the garages are being knocked down. There have been lots of excited children’s faces while watching the blue digger taking them down and piling up the bricks.

The children at the 2-3yr group are settling well and learning the morning routine. They are really enjoying circle time with 'Skip' the dog.

   
If you want to chat anything through about your child's development, settling etc please talk to your child's Key person or Jude.

WELCOME BACK TO THE AUTUMN TERM !

Hello everyone ! 
The children have all either settled back in or are getting to know us and beginning to settle now.

We have seen a lot of empathy as older, more settled children support younger new children - lovely to see.

The children have been making the most of being outside with water play, construction and chalk mark making. The children have been busy using the 'tool kit' to 'repair' the play house- lots of hammering and drilling going on!

We have made bread rolls as a group- they looked smelt and tasted delicious ! 

At Broadway Playschool, the children have been building towers inside and out and getting used to sitting up for snack and coming to story time.

Forest School is going well - Jude spent a day coppicing and tidying both areas ready for the winter. We shall be doing fire safety and working with basic tools over the winter months. The children have enjoyed climbing. They will also be helping to manage the site - collecting fire word and looking after the trees and birds.
