We recently introduced the children to using clay and we have a lovely clay working area.

Outdoor Parent Workshops
We recently held a series of Outdoor Parent Workshops. These included outdoor play, den building and fire lighting. Thank you to everyone who came along and to the staff team for hosting these sessions.
 
Parents gave lovely feedback and we look forward to hosting some more workshops in the New Year.
“It was a lovely adventure for me to attend the Family Centre …for the wonderful Outdoor Education sessions”
“I really enjoyed the hands on play/ learning sessions”
“I had never thought of building a den in the garden using material, pegs etc. I will definitely take this forward.”
Jurassic World
Our recent interest in dinosaurs led to us developing our Discovery area into a dinosaur cave and Jurassic World.
We researched all about dinosaurs using books and Chrombooks.
Abbeyfield Visits
We recently had some visits to our local nursing home, Abbeyfield House. The children and residents played games and sang songs together.
Plastic Pollution
We have been learning about the impact of plastic pollution on wildlife, especially sea animals. We collected some plastic waste and created a map to show the route of a piece of rubbish from our homes into the river and then out to sea.
We had a visit from two turtles Wallace and Grommit.
Nativity Rehearsals
Our Nativity rehearsals are now underway and the children have been blasting out their favourite songs.
We look forward to our performance on Tuesday 17th December.
Please help us by practising the songs at home.
Visiting the Building Site
Recently, some of us visited the site of our new building. We learned all about site safety from Ivor and Honor Goodsite, the safety mascots.
We even had a go on one of the excavators.
