HAPPY NEW YEAR & WELCOME BACK TO THE SPRING TERM 2019!


HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Our first day back and yes! a good start to the week with all the children appearing to settle in really well, including the new children that started .  They were surprised to still see ‘Santa’s’ reindeer outside ( Mags had made out of logs) and said “oh gosh Santa has left one of his reindeer, …….oh well we will look after him” !

We have quite had a few new children join us this week, and they have had an enjoyable week. It has been lovely to watch some of the children start to help others with their shoes and coat, but also sharing the resources when they see that someone wants something. 

The Monday morning yoga sessions was much enjoyed especially the relaxation time ! "

Some of the children also enjoyed making a ‘boat’ outside out of the crates and woodblocks, they especially enjoyed being rescued by superhero ‘spiderman’!

The children have enjoyed using tools to break the ice to get the animals out, one boy was using a plastic spanner to try and he says to adult after not being able to break much ice off, "I think I need a bigger tool" and walks off and then he returns back to the table holding a plastic chainsaw!!!!

There was lots of good remembering and thinking about keeping the environment and ‘ourselves safe’ at Forest School on Friday morning.

The younger ones at Broadway Playschool seemed very happy to be back with their peers, we observed some lovely interaction between them during play. A couple who were new to the group settled very well and enjoyed the morning. They were involved in making play dough and ‘New Year’ firework pictures by  'splitting' teabags with paint and glitter.
