Every Friday we have been learning about fire safety. All children in the centre have the opportunity to either toast a marshmallow, have hot chocolate or have an alternative snack. The children have been voting for their favourite over the past two months and their favourite choice is repeated.

The children have been learning that we need three things to start a fire: oxygen, fuel and heat. They have been very good at understanding the safety rules and knowing that only Hazel and Rebecca are in the safety circle starting the fire. Most children are able to explain the rules surrounding the fire and have been observed role playing the fire in the centre.

Every Wednesday morning, our pre school children are now been given the opportunity to go to the woods. Rebecca, Hazel, Dawn and Kathleen take a group of 8 children to the woods for a 4 week block. This gives the children the opportunity to explore the local wildlife, looking after their environment, and given the chance and opportunity to explore their natural environment which enhances all aspects of their development.

Have a look at what we have been doing so far…
