Helpston Playhouse – Weekly Update 16th June 2023

By June 16, 2023 Uncategorized No Comments

Dear Parents / Carers

Playhouse Activities This Week – This week has been super-hot, so we have tried to stay cool as much as possible. There have been parasols placed around to give us more shade to protect the children.

There has been loads of water play with Jug, funnels, and sea animals. The children loved playing with the cloud dough which is so soft and also smells amazing.

The ice-cream parlour has been very popular as you can probably imagine. Some very strange ice-cream ideas but great fun.

We have read the sun safe superstar, learning about the importance of protecting ourselves in the sun.

Polite reminder, please apply suncream before you come into pre-school and its essential to supply a hat. Thank you.
               
Forest School –
In Forest school this week we had a mud cake bakery.  The children foraged in the garden for ingredients of mud, sand, stones, and herbs and put them in their bowls.  They then added water to their bowls using trial and error to get their mixture to the right consistency before putting it into the cup cases.  The children put a flower on top to decorate and then put them on top of the fire pit so they could bake in the sunshine.  

Playhouse Activities Next Week – We will carry on with the Ice-cream parlour and we will pretend we are at the beach, going on holiday.
