Dear Parents / Carers

COVID – If your child or a family member tests positive for COVID via an LFD or PCR, please can you let us know. Thank you.

This Week –
It’s been another busy week in the OOSC!
Monday – Woodwork & Construction – We sanded and decorated wooden blocks to make coasters. There were some great designs, especially the two-sided cow design by Grace!
Tuesday – Science Society – We made parachutes using plastic and fabric in different shapes and sizes as we investigated air resistance. We had fun dropping them from the climbing frame and we watched to see which one took the longest to fall.
Wednesday – Gardening & Forest School – We tidied and weeded the garden. We planted more flowers and vegetables this week: runner beans, carrots, sweetcorn, cosmos, and sunflowers.   
Thursday – Den Building –
The children decided they would like to build a fort this week, so we postponed our ‘Camping’ theme. They made themselves a secret entrance! We also made a refreshing drink using lemons and water.

Thursday – Craft Club –
We continued making our fabric flowers. Our KS1 children were amazing at sewing and really persevered went things went awry. They created some beautiful flowers!
 Friday – Baking – This afternoon will be making apple crumble!
