We would like to share a little gallery of some the Spring artwork created by the children in the Raindrop Room at the end of last term. Click then click again on photos to see the name of the artist. We hope that you enjoy the children’s work.
Inspired by the interest of a group of children in the Rainbow Room in pirates, those playing in the outdoor area recently created a pirate ship using the materials they could find in the garden. This produced endless hours of imaginative fun and great teamwork to create their ship. As you can see, discussions around pirates also led some to creating their own parrot which look great.
Discussions around the signs of Spring were the stimulus in the art area before the holiday and many of the children have enjoyed creating artwork using their observational skills and imagination. Pens, paint and craft materials were all used to produce these Spring pictures in the Rainbow Room. I wonder if any of the children recognise their own work in our little gallery?
At the end of term the children in the Rainbow Room were learning about birds building nests and we looked at photos of what they use to build homes for their new chicks. Some children then used a range of materials to create their own little decorative nests to take home for the Easter holiday. As you can see, each nest that was produced was individual and unique to each child. Great work boys and girls – we are sure that they must look lovely in your homes.
Alongside our visits and visitors at the end of term, a range of activities continued in all areas of the Nursery. Here is a little gallery of some of the artwork the children produced when experimenting with marbles in paint.
A small group of our children visited the Old Parish Church hall on Monday to entertain the ladies and gentlemen of the friendship club. The children showed great maturity to introduce themselves on stage and to perform a few favourite songs to an enthusiastic audience. One lady was celebrating a very special birthday and was delighted to receive a card and hear “Happy Birthday” sung by our little group.
Thank you to everyone at the friendship club for their warm welcome, their kind applause and, of course, for the delicious snack which was a lovely treat. This was a great opportunity for the children to perform to an audience and we appreciate your kind invitation.

What a lot of fantastic decorated eggs appeared from our Nursery children this week for our competition! It was great to see that children and their families have worked together at home on this fun activity and the Nursery table was full of lots of creative ideas. Well done to everyone who took the time to enter the competition and congratulations to Nancy who was the super Nursery winner.
As well as individual works of art, the children love to create a collaborative piece of art now and again. We provide the tools and the children work together to produce one big collage or picture. Paint, pens, glitter and collage materials were all available to the children as they worked together to produce their unique creation. It’s lovely to hear them talking together about their picture as they work and the whole creative process seems to have a very calming effect on those joining in. Well done all those who contributed to these creations. One is on display in the school corridor and one in Nursery.
We would like to share this little gallery of outdoor play in the Rainbow Room one recent morning. Painting with mud was very popular with some, as the children created artwork using the resources available to them.
Another group decided to make their own hotel using cones, pipes, cable reels and other bits and pieces they found outdoors. In case you are wondering, the watering can on the top of their hotel is the sprinkler to put out fires in the hotel. What a great idea! As always, our children prove themselves to be so creative in their use of resources.

It is always important to have a nice environment to enjoy a meal and these children in the Rainbow Room certainly helped to make the snack area more attractive recently when they created some little floral displays for the snack tables. It was great to hear their discussion about which flowers they liked and which to put together in their vases. We think that their flower arranging skills are great and they made everyone’s visit to snack and lunch a much more pleasant experience.
