STEM (Monday -Friday)

Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths in Early years is all about exploration and discovery, allowing the bairns to make sense of and gain a deeper understanding of the world around them.

Garden spring clean (Tuesday)

With the lovely week of weather we started the spring clean of the garden cupboards. We found the bird feeder cages during the tidy so made some tasty treats for the hungry birds the bairns spotted sitting on the fence.

Bookbug (Wednesday)

Everyone enjoyed ‘One, two, buckle my shoe’ and ‘If you’re happy and you know it’ Claire asked the bairns to add their own ideas and we all joined in with the actions. ‘Love monster and the last Chocolate’ by Rachel Bright was the story for the session, all about sharing with others. The bairns always look forward to the lycra sheet coming out to do Pea Pod Press, Side to Side, and the Grand Old Duke of York.

Firepit (Thursday)

We revisited the firepit safety, marking off the sand circle to show where we should stay out of while the fire is on and only come in it if an adult asks. The bairns used the fire starter flint and steel to get a spark to start the fire. They enjoyed a couple of toasted mini mallows after all their hard work and great listening.

Independence Skills (Monday – Friday)

Promoting independence in early years helps bairns develop confidence, self esteem and critical thinking skills.

Playpark visit (Thursday)

Happy valentines Day!

Love has been in the air all week, through activities, provocations, messages and snacks! It has been lovely hearing about all the ways the bairns love you.
