P2/3 decided they would like to open a café on open afternoon for their Enterprise.  We decided to set our café up in the courtyard and had to all help tidy the garden and get it ready for the opening.

We all had to apply for the different jobs that we felt we would be best at so some of us were in the baking team, waiter team, sales and marketing team and then we needed an accountant.

On the day, it was a huge success, better than we could have hoped for! So many parent’s helped by sending in cakes and we had a fantastic selection. The sun shone and we had a fantastic turnout of parent’s at the open afternoon.

Thank you to everyone who came and supported “The Secret Garden Café”. We made £155 profit so we now need to decide what to spend it on, we’ve lot’s of ideas and will keep you posted.

Many thanks again!

Today we looked in great detail at some of our favourite book covers and recreated them. Do you like them?

One of our nursery parents, Barry, very kindly led the children in a yoga session this morning. Children used their imagination to visualise a trip to the zoo! They stretched and moved like the animals they imagined. Everybody felt calm and relaxed after the session. Thanks Barry!

What amazing talent the children of Balmalloch have.  We were thoroughly entertained by a range of acts on Thursday afternoon, including singing, dancing, gymnastics, magic tricks, playing musical instruments and comedy.  Winners will be announced on Tuesday 30th May.  I’m glad I don’t have to choose, you were all fantastic. Well done.
