Jordan decided to make the cars into a long line. He spent ages ensuring that they were properly placed one behind the other. When he was finished he shouted out, 'Look at the traffic jam!' Jordan then went back to the box to find more cars and used them all to make this extra long line. He was so obviously pleased with himself for thinking up this idea all on his own.

This was the day when we had toast with either chocolate spread or jam on for snack. All the children ended up with large amounts of chocolate around their mouths.

MJ stood up and looked around at all of them. He heaved a huge sigh and put his arms on his hips in frustration. MJ then marched over to pick up the packet of wet wipes and proceeded to do the rounds, wiping each child's mouth clean in turn!
Some children have really mastered swinging on the rope swing in the garden. They are strong enough to climb up unassisted and to continue to swing themselves once they have been given an initial push. Holding on tight is essential!
Eyes closed to 'feel' the motion
The first time after some

persuasion

Coy pride in this achievement,
done without any assistance
well done Maisie!
Kyra has gradually
built up her confidence until she
was happy enough to swing
very high today.









Go Abi! Keep holding on tight.
Freya has just slowed down after
twirling round and round
 - feeling a little dizzy then?

Venturing into the World of Blogging!


For many months now there has been much deliberation and discussion over creating a web site as a way to advertise and to provide information about our Pre-School. This would serve the needs of both current and prospective parents with regard to information about enrolment, cost and running of the school, updates on what happens at school on a day to day basis and coverage of wider Early Years issues.

This blog is the solution to the dilemma! We can share our ideas and reveal the fun and the challenges that we experience at school.

Information, ideas, activities and events will be added and easily kept current. The intention is also that we will be able to reflect on our practice and address the needs of children and parents through comments and requests that are added by anyone, including the children, who is interested in the Pre-School.

OFF INTO THE FUTURE .........................
