busy busy bees !

The children at Broadway setting enjoyed rolling and cutting gingerbread dough to make animal biscuits to take home.

During the week  we did some foot prints, putting our feet in paint then on to paper. Some children really enjoyed it others willing to take part but little bit unsure of the sensation of paint between their toes!

Lovely firefighter role play seen this week at Towerview.  The children directed adults and peers where to go and how to keep safe. 

We’ve been lucky this week to look closely at a visiting snail, slug and spider who delighted us with a magnificent web on the decking.  This has given the children great learning opportunity to extend their understanding of their world and discuss other cultures and languages.  

The children have worked as part of a group showing an interest in the way musical instruments sound and the different sounds they make. The children explored how sounds can be changed from loud to quiet and then still. They recognised and repeated sound patterns ie 1234 still, 123 still, tapping their instruments and observing the adults visual instructions.They enjoyed playing their instruments along to familiar songs they chose from memory. 

On Friday we had an amazing Forest School session despite the rain - the children got changed so quickly we are really proud of them- they listened well at base camp and knew the 'Forest School Rules' - no walking inside base camp fire pit area, no picking, no licking , no running, how to carry sticks long and short and stopping at the boundaries and roped off sawing area.  They had a lovely time - climbing on the climbing tree with Sarah assisting. Making leaf patterns with Jude, and mud pies with Mags'.
