We love giving the children opportunities to get involved with some cooking and kitchen skills. Most recently we have made tropical fruit kebabs and fairy cakes. The children have learned how to be safe in the kitchen whilst washing, chopping, peeling, weighing, mixing and baking their ingredients. The results have been some very yummy creations!

This week we recognised 'World save a frog day!'. Children researched all about frogs, finding out where they lived, what they like to eat and the stages of their life cycle. We have enjoyed acting out frog related rhymes, using shapes to draw frogs, count and match quantities of frogs to the correct number and even exploring a frog themed sensory water tray! At Forest School the children worked as a team to build a pond for their own little toy frog and enjoyed listening to

We were really lucky to have two chickens called Dotty and Brownie and their friend Jemima the duck come to visit us at Pre School! The children were able to see the eggs they had laid, feed them their favourite snack of mealworms and of course give them a cuddle! The children were really excited to have them come to visit and asked lots of questions, these hands on experiences really are the best way to learn! Brownie enjoying a cuddle!

We have had a lovely time in the Spring sunshine including climbing, mark making, washing buses, tyre rolling, creating obstacle courses for trucks, plant and bug spotting and playing with friends. Spotting the Spring Bluebells!
