Dear Parents / Carers
Playhouse Activities This Week – This week we have been…. Enjoy the sunshine. We’ve enjoyed lots of outdoor play, the children especially loved the dinosaur swamp! The children used lovely imagination as the dinosaurs became stuck and needed rescuing! We have also been busy baking bread rolls, which the children really enjoyed needing their own bread and watching it rise, we hope they were tasty.
Forest School – In Forest school this week the children enjoyed making some lovely bunting! Using the material, they printed beautiful patterns using a range of colours from the petals they handpicked from around the garden . We spoke about how plants grow, all the different colours and textures we can see. And they used a pebble to create their prints onto the bunting through banging and rubbing through the petals!
Playhouse Activities after Half Term – Our theme next term will be summer; we will be doing lots of activities around being sun safe and water safe and having lots of outdoor fun! With summer themed activities such as camping and lots more! We will also be doing lots of super exciting things supporting our rising fives transition to school enabling them to be school ready .
