We need you .. Can you spare an hour a month? Or do you know someone who could spare us an hour a month? We are looking for a Chair & Treasurer. Without these two key roles our setting will close. Please contact our Chair, Pip Power if you are interested.

Playhouse Activities This Week – This week we had an exciting start to our week! We had to rescue a hedgehog who was completely stuck in our garden and needed our help to go back into the wild! Lucy did a great job helping the hedgehog to get out of the camouflage net. The hedgehog lives in the bushes in our garden!  We have been creating autumn themed trees, and creating our own bear, we are looking and learning all about animals who hibernate! The children are really enjoying building on their gross motor skills using the obstacle courses, we have had balancing beams, crawling through the tunnel, stepping along our sensory steppingstones, but they have especially enjoyed our peanut ball!

Playhouse Activities Next Week – Next week we will be hunting for different autumn leaves, painting with conkers, and looking at different animals which hibernate!
