Acorns & Woodlands

The children made a nature picture today out in the field on their forest school walk. They used natural resources that they had foraged for. On a large piece of paper the children made a frame from sticks and used leaves, grass, twigs and feathers to create their masterpiece.

Last week to commemorate remembrance day we took the children over to the church to see the knitted poppies, and the cascade of poppies down from the altar. We explained to the children what we were remembering and why we use poppies to do so. When we came back to preschool we watched a short animation put on by CBeebies to help explain this. The children made their own poppy display in preschool.

Thursday 20th & Friday 21st December 2018 Could you do with a few hours child free shopping before Christmas? Don't forget as well as full and half days, we offer an hourly service (up to 3 hours). Come and join us for 2 days of fun and games before we break up for Christmas. We will be making Christmas decorations and cooking Christmas treats, watching Christmas movies and playing Christmas games.

For Halloween, we made paper mache pumpkins, and hollowed out and carved a pumpkin for the preschool. The pumpkin is now pretending to be a hedgehog in hibernation under some leaves.
