LEAVES & CONKER TIME !

At Towerview Playschool the children have enjoyed collecting and playing amongst the leaves, having lots of fun running through them kicking and throwing them over each other on the school field. They enjoyed watching them flutter down and hearing their crunch as they jumped and skipped through them. We shall have to try to make some art installations with our finds!

The children enjoyed a short walk to the horse chestnut ‘conker’ trees this week. We collected and sorted the conkers. Some were very big, others were tiny !  

We also had great fun using the bikes on the ramp – there was some really good turn taking, waiting and beeping the horn on the way day to ‘alert the oncoming traffic ! ‘

At Broadway Playschool the ‘2-3s’ are enjoying ‘What's in the box?’ and joining in with action songs. This takes a lot of concentration, develops patience and enables ‘turn taking’.  Outside the children enjoyed the autumn air, seeing the leaves falling from the trees. 'Bubble time' engaged the children in jumping and twirling as they tried to catch the bubbles.

Autumn themes ....

At Broadway Playschool, the little ones have been showing off their physical skills with ‘roly ploys’, jumping and hurdling over cones.   They are enjoying sand play, trying to make sandcastles with almost every container!

At Towerview Playschool the children have really enjoyed practicing their throwing and kicking skills with the footballs.

The children enjoyed the ‘Owl Babies’ story sack, which reinforced to them that all mummies come back. They showed some excellent recall of the story and talked about their feelings. 

They have lalso oved looking out the window, this week, at the digger taking down the garages and then going outside and playing with the toy diggers and conkers.

Lots of children have enjoyed making ‘hedgehog’ shaped collages this week. Also the puzzles table has seen some lovely interaction, support and encouragement from one to another.
