On Monday we welcomed a new Pre-School Assistant, Marta, to our happy setting and it already feels like she has become one of the ‘gang’. She has made many new little friends over the course of the week and she says she is coming back next week, so we are all very pleased about that! […]

This week we read and did some activities around Jack & the Beanstalk. The ‘Listening Rabbit’s’ listened very intently to the story and on another day they listened to the CD version which really held their attention. They were able to answer and ask many questions about the pictures in the book – the conversation […]

We made music, listened to music and had lots of singing. The children enjoyed joining in with lots of action songs as well as bringing in lots of instruments – we had guitars, drum kits and harmonicas (Sally’s favourite!!). We had lots of dancing with ribbons and scarves, ring games and we put music to […]

Well we finally got to the Forest site…the weather was kind to us but still muddy! They have done a lot of clearing so able to see many chopped trees & spoke about counting the circles to work out how old the trees were….all great fun for maths. Lots of digging went on-exploring holes plus […]

The children made lots of different poppies… poppies on sticks, printed poppies, cut-out poppies and we mounted them on one of the display boards at Tiddy Hall – they also enjoyed painting cardboard boxes to make the Tower of London and a barge on the […]
