Another exciting adventure for the children this week. We arranged to meet at Tall Trees in Shipton and with an abundance of helpers set off across the fields to Monty’s house in Milton. The children were all very excited and found interesting things to examine on the way – cow parsley umbrellas, grasses for tickling […]
Healthy Living
Over the past two weeks we have been practicing like mad for Sports Day on Saturday. Come rain or shine, we have been outside warming up for the races. It was fabulous to see so many of our families (past and present) at the Fun Day, and as you saw, we all knew what to […]
More Julia Donaldson…
This week we continued with more Julia Donaldson books. We read ‘Night Monkey, Day Monkey’ as well as listening to it as a talking book. Lots of glueing, sticking and a whole pot of glitter later and a new board for Tiddy Hall was created with the children’s work displayed – it is very bright […]
Jack & The Flum Flum Tree
The outdoor climbing frame was brought into Tiddy Hall and the children helped to create the ‘Isle of Blowyernose’ complete with a ‘Flum Flum Tree’ beside it! The children (and staff) have absolutely LOVED this Julia Donaldson book and it has become a firm favourite. We have heard that there have been many requests for […]
Forest School Camp Fires
Both groups have really enjoyed their fire/cooking sessions. It has really helped them think about their own safety, along with others, plus, how they need to act when they are around an open fire. There has been lots of ‘chat’ about who does the cooking at home; also what is eaten.Everybody tucked into the food, […]

As always the session begins with a reminder about hygiene – washing hands, wearing aprons and of course the fashionable hair nets!! We talked about following a recipe, where the ingredients came from and the method of mixing the ingredients. While the […]

The children have really enjoyed being out in the new play area this week and have been exploring the new equipment. The surface dries very quickly and is nice to sit on – hopefully we’ll be able to have lots of stories outside this term with the warmer weather. We have been practising songs and […]
Garden Work Party
Big thanks to Rachel & family and some of the Pre-School staff and their children who helped clear the garden area today – it is amazing how many hands make light work! The new boards and mirrors have been put up on the fence, the playhouse moved, paving slabs and gravel have been laid. One […]

A short week! We finished off our Easter cards, made some rabbits and chicks and enjoyed eating some Easter eggs! Forest School were promised a play at Milton Village Green so we stopped off at the playground and had snack there before moving on to the Forest School site – we saw lots of sheep (pregnant […]
