Piglets have been very busy today celebrating Canada Day. They read a fab book using numbers to show Canada’s favourite things, coloured and made their own flags, and made yummy cakes using the two colours of the flag. A lovely activity learning about a different country. Well done Piglets!

It was a very colourful week in Lambs, as their book of the week was Elmer by David McKee. The children designed their own Elmer patterns using colouring sheets. They made their own beautiful elephants using various coloured tissue paper which they cut up into different sized pieces and stuck onto the top part of plastic milk bottles. They were very intrigued how a plastic bottle could turn into an elephant Their cooking activity was amazing brightly coloured cupcakes which c

Today Piglets went flower collecting on Greentrees field to make flower pictures. They picked flowers for a short time, before getting distracted by the running lanes marked out on the field. The children all lined up at the start of the lanes and after hearing ‘ready, steady, go’ the children all raced to the end.

The children joined in at story time working out which word rhymed with frog, goat, cat, hare, mule, parrot, lion, fox, gorillas and gopher, just name a few! They talked about the life cycle of a frog , how they start off as frogspawn, then tadpole, froglet, then frog - there was lots of discussion between the children about this activity. The children explored a pond which had

We've purchased two of these tables using some of our fundraising money. The children love to sit and have a chat or read books.

Lambs book of the week was The Tiger Who Came to Tea by Judith Kerr. The children had a tea party in the garden, made tigers out of play dough, tiger cupcakes, decorated and cut out tiger masks and enjoyed the story at circle time. There was lots of fine motor skills used throughout the week, making tea…pouring, squeezing and mixing. Manipulating the play dough…pinching and kneading. Using pencils & crayons…pincher and tripod grip. There were lovely conversations throughout
