The Christmas 'SING SONG' was well attended by parents, grandparents and childminders. The children sang the 'Mary's Knitting' songs and everyone joined in with our other songs. The slide show was much enjoyed with some lovely feedback. Thankyou.
The children enjoyed playing with small world play 'playmobil' engaging in imaginative role play alongside their peers, demonstrating play based on their own first hand experiences.
On Friday children wore Christmas jumpers and proudly showed them off to each other, having an awareness of, and showing interest and enjoyment in the forthcoming Christmas celebrations.
Forest School went well thanks to Sarah and Jo who assisted Mags cooking crumpets over an open fire with the children. Some of the children enjoyed having a taste adventure as Mags also roasted some chestnuts in the coals. Taking well planned risks gives opportunities for the children to become resilient and cope and forest School is a great environment for different experiences. Dressing by themselves for the weather is all part of the experience and having a go keep trying being involved are some of their characteristics of learning. Please remember though it’s cold out there and providing Wellington socks gloves and hats is all part of it. Have a very joyful holiday season

HAPPY NEW YEAR
ReplyDeleteThe children have settled well into the group after the Christmas break. We welcome children and families new to the group. Those that have joined us from Broadway setting are confidently exploring and interacting with peers new to them.
The children have been very enthusiastic to help freezing the animals into tubs to break them free with using different resources ie. play tools, drive cars into them as well watching the ice melt.
Despite the cold weather the children have enjoyed the outdoors. At forest school some children have been thinking about looking after the environment by helping to cordon off flowers that are starting to shoot to prevent them from being trampled on. Others tried out sawing branches with Mags and seemed very happy with their achievements.
Please be aware that there are sickness bugs going around the schools, therefore you’re cooperation with the 48hr policy is appreciated.
