What have we been doing recently?

• During the last term we have been enjoying the good weather and our great outdoor area - climbing on our tree, picking daisies, watching the buds start to form on the trees and making lady bird houses. We also designed a road way with chalks and had a great time painting with water on the walls of the hall, which is a great way to help develop our muscles in our hands used when we start writing.
• During our Jack and the Bean Stalk topic, we explored baked beans in the messy tray, acted the story out with puppets and made Jack and the Bean Stalk pictures and planted beans to see how the roots and shoots form.
• During our Family topic we looked at photos of family and the children talked in front of the group about why they were important and we had visits from baby Ozzy and baby Seeley who was only a few weeks old and tiny!
• In the Tuesday and Thursday sessions the older children have been learning to prepare their own snacks and also wash and dry up.
• We finished off the half term by talking about the Easter Story and making a miniature Easter Garden and Crosses with tissue paper to decorate the windows in Woodham Mortimer Church. Rev’d Stephanie visited and we made Easter Bonnets to wear to the Church for an Easter Service. During the service we decorated Easter bonnet cakes, which was great fun! The children all really enjoyed standing at the front of the Church and singing the ‘If I were a butterfly’ song.
