To keep the children cool as the temperatures rose this week lots of water play activities were offered. We created a ‘car wash’ and sold ‘ice creams’, washed dolls, painted with water and dodged Marj as she sprayed us with water. Other activities included chalk bashing, balancing on logs and pallets, snail hunting, making a […]

With leaflet in hand the children walked around the village to find all the amazing Jubilee Banners. None of us could pick out a favourite, they were all so good. With the grass being so tall at the allotments it was the perfect time to play one of the most requested games the children ask

Finally after weeks of planning and preparation the celebrations began. After making their own scones the children added jam and clotted cream in true British style.

We had an extra special visitor to the Pre-school this week. The Easter Bunny! Spotting the ears the children went to investigate and found lots of Easter Eggs to collect in their baskets. The children also enjoyed decorating Easter egg shaped cards, painting the background scene for the display board and programming the Bee bots

On our way to the allotments the children noticed and admired the beautiful flowers growing in the boat, then picked some of the daisies growing in the grass. The children had great fun bouncing on the bouncy castle, and smashing the cornflakes to pieces. Thank you Bobby for bringing in the castle and cornflakes. Hammering

We had perfect weather for our trip on Monday to Abbotsbury Subtropical gardens. The children managed to walk all the way around the gardens, and we all made it across the Burma rope bridge. On Tuesday we took footballs, small balls and rackets to the playground for some additional fun. Using their fingers, the children
