All things Easter
The children have enjoyed Easter activities over the last couple of weeks. They made Easter bonnets – great care was taken in the positioning of the flowers and we have a lot of photos of some very proud children. There were many different sizes of bunnies brought in and we looked at the similarities and […]
Horses & Ponies
Many thanks to Charlie T, Chris, Emma & her Mum who all brought ‘Tommy’ the miniature Shetland pony along to Pre-School on Thursday –he was tiny & very sweet, the children stroked him and he behaved impeccably throughout. Charlie rode him to Tiddy and back to Crown Farm and it was great for us to […]

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 […]
