Hello Everyone, 


We had a lovely week. The children have been very busy creating for Easter and experimenting with colour. The children have been working together to create a narrative to their play with the small world toys which has been great to see. 

This week we will be baking and creating together for the last week of term. We really hope you have a lovely Easter and I’m sure we will get some sunshine!

Please can you return your sunscreen permission slip if you have not already done so. I’m sure we will start to see the warmer weather when we return.

Hello Everyone, 


We had a very busy week on Monday we were busy with our craft creations. On Tuesday we worked on our gifts. On Wednesday we made some lava lamps and this led to lots of great thinking and new language. On Thursday we did some more investigations and did some fizzy coke exploding experiments. This was lots of fun to watch. On Friday we investigated melting and did some experiments with what would melt ice. We used salt and warm water. The children have really enjoyed these investigations and have wanted to know lots of information about how things work. On Friday afternoon we also went over to school to watch the rocket launch. 


This week we will be starting our Easter Activities.  We also have some craft activities to complete during the week.

Hello Everyone....

 



Year 1


Hello Everyone, 


We had a lovely first week back. The children were so pleased to see each other and they are really starting to respond well to what others are saying and doing. We did some colour recognition, counting practice and balancing and making lots of fun structures. We enjoyed our time outside and we did lots of balancing and exploring with new materiels. 


This week we will be having a story focus and we have lots of great things planned. If your child would like to bring in a favourite story to share that would be great. If you could make sure they are named this would be a real help as we would hate to lose them.
