Ready for the start of the next term but before we jump back in tomorrow take a look at what we got up before the Easter break……
Firstly we collected donations for the Down Town Community Grocery specifically sweets and treats as requested by themselves due to this not being a popular donation and everyone deserves a little treat with their shop. We popped down and the children delivered them to the lovely staff in time for the Easter break. Thank you to the wonderful people who donated every little helps and lots of sweet treats for those who access the shop 🥰.
🌺 the children enjoyed making some beautiful Mother’s Day cards and gifts for their lovely mummy’s
🎨 lots of Easter crafts
🐑 we visited the lambing shed again this year to see all the new born lambs with their mummy’s they were absolutely adorable. We talked to the children about how their mummy’s look after them and help them grow. We also saw frog spawn and explained to the children that they will grow into frogs (using pictures and videos) they were amazed !!
🔴 🔵 🟡 the children have been working hard identifying primary colours exploring them using lots of different materials
🔢 we have been working hard on counting and recognising numbers keep up the good work some of you are now counting to 10 !!
🚗 We visited our local play groups and The Little Lancashire Village which is always a huge hit for everyone even me !! What a great venue right on our doorstep.
🪏🪴 we’ve planted our pea pods and sunflowers not too sure if they survived last nights wind 🫣 but we managed to save them after storm Dave and we did have some little shoots so keep your fingers crossed for us🤞🏼
💦 we managed to get outside lots despite the yucky weather, we visited our favourite spot at the offshoots mud kitchen, been for local walks and played in the garden. Let’s pray for much nicer weather this term so we can spend even more time outside !!
We’ve done so much more too……..

So last week we planted our little beans and so far nothing significant to the eye has happened although a few have opened up slightly so I’m sure by next week we will start seeing some little roots appearing.

Our community concept is in full swing, the Explorers have been busy doing there bit around the local area, cleaning up the greenway litter picking, creating conversation around a healthy and clean environment and looking after the area where we live. The little ones have also been to visit the community Down Town shop and spoke to the lovely Amanda and Nathan who were there to help with lots of questions about how we could help support the shop. We came to the conclusion that the shop would benefit from more sweet treats so throughout the next few weeks in the lead up to Easter we will be collecting ‘treats’ such as crisps, chocolate, sweets, cakes and biscuits so we can help make everyone’s shop a little more enjoyable because who doesn’t enjoy a treat every now and then !! If anyone wants to get involved and would like to donate any treats please get in touch I’m more than happy to collect 🥰
The children have been talking about who they live with, using the playdough to create our families and pets this was a beautiful way to get the children talking and sharing who our families are.

The little ones also visited a very friendly family run cafe supporting local businesses, learning to sit nicely at the table and the best part enjoying a lovely healthy fruity snack the children were a pleasure as always 💕 !!

I really need to hire someone to keep my page updated !! Too busy having fun !!

Lots to back date but for now a little peek at what we are up to this term…….. we are focusing on Community exploring the different ways we can help our community, what they do for us and what it’s like to be a part of our own 💕. Running alongside Community is our topic on Life and this week we’ve kick started it with a very visual experiment the little ones have really enjoyed taking part in, everyone has planted their own beans ready to watch them grow up the window in their special little bags. We’ll check back in a week’s time and see how our little beans are coming along.

We’ve also made a start on our colour wall this weeks colour is blue and what better way to get creative with colour than paint rolling and of course hand printing 😍
