At the Woodies this week the children asked for a mud kitchen so we took lots of water, pots, plates and a variety of utensils with us. Very messy but this allowed the children to share lots of interesting creative ideas. We also had storytelling in the den, the children enjoyed listening to the story of ‘A Squash and a Squeeze’ read by Miss Buckley. It was so popular that it was a bit of a squash and a squeeze in the den. Our other literacy activity involved the children working as a team to sequence a story. Once they were happy with the order of the pages they read the story from the washing line.

We celebrated St Patrick’s Day by making shamrock necklaces, flags and taking part in a musical parade led by Caitlin. We had Irish soda bread for snack. Thank you to Hannah’s mum for her recipe.

On Friday we took part in various activities linked to Sport Relief. The children looked good ready for action! Once we were warmed up we went round our ‘Sheeplechase’ obstacle course six times. This involved lots of balancing, jumping, rolling and wriggling. To finish, Miss Kerr taught us the Sport Relief Nursery Dance. Thank you for all your donations.
