<\/a>\nPutting our problem solving skills to the test, we created our own tennis court where we practised our hand eye coordination by \u201chitting the ball over the net\u201d and trying to hit it back! Playing tennis is such hard work and we enjoyed a well deserved snack afterwards. Of course we had to have strawberries just like they do at Wimbledon!
\nPhysical activity is always a firm favourite here at Cart Mill, along with a game of football! \u00a0Having come up with the idea of creating our very own football team, our \u201csports activity co-ordinator\u201d Cheryl rose to the challenge and stepped into the managers role! It was decided that our team would be called \u201cThe Red Ducks\u201d and Cheryl soon put everyone through their paces during training sessions, with assistant manager Gail providing support as goalkeeper and ensuring we had half time refreshments.<\/p>\n
Having completed regular training it was time to head to the \u201cpitches\u201d for a \u201cmatch\u201d. \u00a0Huge thanks to our SFA qualified referee Stuart who gave up his own time to ensure we played fairly and \u201cfollowed the rules\u201d. Thanks to our families who supported us by very kindly donating equipment and much needed new balls! We can\u2019t quite believe our super summer term is about to come to an end! It\u2019s been action packed with lots of fun and laughter! \u00a0Here\u2019s a quick round up of the fabulous experiences we\u2019ve had over the past few weeks. As some of us were showing an interest in Wimbledon, we decided to host … Continue reading Super Summer Fun!<\/span> <\/a>
\nSafety always comes at Cart Mill so we always take SIMOA on our trips to remind us how to keep ourselves safe.<\/p>\n<\/a>

\nArts and crafts are another favourite activity. \u00a0Gail\u2019s sister Lynne very kindly visited and spent time teaching us how to create our very own fabulous dolls using wool! \u00a0We had a lovely time with Lynne and so appreciate her giving up precious time to visit us.

\nBeing very curious and loving construction (and deconstruction!) Gail very kindly bought us some bikes and an old typewriter to explore! Demonstrating we can use real tools safely, it was lots of fun to investigate how to take the bikes apart and then work as a team to put them back together again!

\nBeing outdoors is one of our favourite activities and we are so lucky to have our very own vegetable patch! Luckily our peas were ready to harvest so we decided to pick, wash them and then try some at snacktime! They were \u201cso sweet and yummy!\u201d

\nWe hope you\u2019ve enjoyed a wee look at just some of the fun we have had over the last few weeks. \u00a0As we prepare for our new term we would like to wish our children lots of luck as they move on to primary one or new nurseries. So many lovely friendships and memories have been made. \u00a0 We will miss you all very much, please come back to visit us! We are so excited to meet lots of new friends over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
