Our extra large skeleton was a great way for the children to learn about their bodies today and find out about bones and joints and how they allow us to move around.

It was a lovely sunny day today and so we decided to go for a walk around the park to look for signs of spring. We found lots of daffodils and crocuses and buds starting to grow on the trees.

Even in cold, wet weather, we try to play outside each day if we can. After the heavy rain yesterday and today, there were lots of puddles to jump in. Some of the children even helped sweep away the rain water and enjoyed using the sweeping brushes to make a “river”.

Yesterday was Pancake Day and the children helped to make some tasty pancakes for snack. Afterwards we had some fun trying to flip a big pancake in the frying pan

This week we have had some new furniture delivered in large cardboard boxes. The boxes have proved very popular and the children have found multiple uses for them, especially seeing how many can fit in at once!!

This week, we have been learning about the countries of some of our children. We have tasted different foods, looked at costumes, learned some new words and songs and made crafts from around the world.

After some of the children made a pretend campfire with the bricks, we decided to let the children experience a real campfire in the playground using a firebowl.

We discussed all the safety rules with the children beforehand and then had a great time toasting marshmallows on the fire.
