THANKYOU & GOODBYE ! until next term !

Hello!


We have had lovely end of term with our Forest School trip to Sandfield Farm, where Emma and her team made us very welcome and the children had a fabulous day exploring the massive forest, swimming in muddy ditches and toasting marshmallows. A BIG thank you to Emma for making it possible.


Then we had our Tower Leavers walk - the children walked all the way back to Playschool without a grumble or a groan!  They picnicked at the benches half way down where we met Broadway First children coming up! It was a beautiful day and we saw mole hills, butterflies, sheep, cows and rabbits. After a picnic lunch at Playschool made by the children - where some ate 4 sandwiches! The children did some excellent pictures of the walk , maps and stories.


We have been busy making pasta paper plate faces for Broadway Horticultural show in September. Lets hope Playschool wins the cup again !!!


On the last day we had a whole day at forest school - cooking on the fire and the children made their own pretend fire later and cooked the staff a meal!


The staff had their night out ten pin bowling - which was a great laugh- good to relax together as a team.


Thank you to all the children and parents who gave us such lovely cards and pressies .
We shall miss you but wish you every happiness at BIG school!


Playschool is back on MONDAY 5TH SEPTEMBER
at both settings.

down in the jungle !

This week we were looking at jungle animals and making stenciled paintings and lion masks!
There was much 'vet 'and 'animal husbandry' going on in the role play!

The children got given a huge box which quickly became a space ship complete with viewing windows and a control panel.

Some of the children starting a local school went for lunch - which was a bit noisy but they did seem to enjoy the experience!

Three staff attended music training for a day and learnt many new songs and action rhymes and how to pitch their voices, so that the children could beginning to use their singing voices too!

A group of the staff team took part in the Relay for Life to raise money for Cancer Research Charity this weekend- they stayed up all night and a day  -please bring in any sponsorship monies this week- your support is greatly appreciated.
