Following the childrens interest of playing doctors we hvae set up a Hospital, they love taking care of each other and fixing all the broken arms and legs that suddenly appear during each session

Had a go at hopscotch today chalked out on our path, some interesting styles of playing were going on 😀

Had a lovely day out exploring nature today, the children had to find items that matched with our colour cards (paint sample sheets) 

And then we saw a baby snake! 

 We made caramel apples today, we had to scoop out the apples (easier said than done) measure out the ingredients and fill the apples with the caramel. For future reference dont try and make it over a bain marie it will take about an hour! 😁

We've been practicing threading today making carrots for our Autumn display board, the children had to thread wool through holes in a triangular carrot and the snip another green triangle to make the top. 

A busy afternoon with the childcare children today - playing in the garden in the discovery area, making shapes out of canes, a visit to the park and collecting all different sizes/shapes/colours of leaves and nuts. Then to top it all off the air ambulance landed right in front of us!!

Some new additions to the room - mark making in natural material using twigs on our discovery stations and our water/sand tray where they have been rescuing the bugs from the water with tweezers. We also went apple picking in big school ready to make some treats later in the week. 

So lovely to be back! Had a great week settling back in and we welcomed a new busy-bee. The children particularly like the new water wall 

Looking forward to starting our new term with all our Busy-bees, and hoping that all the children that left us in July have a fantastic time in big school 😀
