Tracie thought it was about time Martie took the Tracie’s Treasures squirty cream challenge.
We wanted to see how much mess she can make, what mark-making creativity she does and how much cream is left after the challenge!
Tracie added sprinkle stars to the mixture.
By the end of the activity there wasn’t much cream left on the tray, it was all over Martie! Must be time for a play bath, to get nice and clean for Mummy and Daddy.
The Little Seedings made some very nice Red Nose Day biscuits. Tracie mixed the water into the icing sugar and it exploded everywhere, we all thought this was very funny!
Somebody couldn’t wait to ice and add sweets to their biscuits! The face said it all!
Tracie and Emma didnt want to miss out! Emma made a double dip stack and Tracie wanted hers plain and simple. Both were delicious.
We decorated some biscuits for the Wanderers and Rangers for when they come home from school. Let’s hope they aren’t eaten before the come!!
When the wildlife Rangers and Wanderers came home they wore their noses and ate the biscuits all up and gave a big thumbs up!
Today the Little Seedlings all threw Fearne a big Rainbow Birthday Tea Party.
The Seedlings all decided we should have carrot and cucumber sticks, corn snacks, Jam sandwiches, pear, banana and grapes as Fearne is a plant based child and these are her favourites.
When Tracie said we can’t have Birthday cake the children insisted we had to have one, not just any plain one. They all shouted “a big chocolate one” with candles!
The Little Seedlings decorated the room with rainbows that they had made in the morning.
All the girls came in wearing rainbows on their tops to brighten up the party!
Happy Birthday Fearne we hope you’ve had a lovely day!
Today we all had a lovely sunny day for our St Patrick’s Celebrations. Sophie’s mum brought in some lovely decorations and fancy dress accessories, the Little Seedlings had fun taking turns wearing them. Even Tracie and Emma had a go!
Emma designed and created these lovely hats and the Little Seedlings enjoyed painting and sticking on some green glitter. We had glitter everywhere all over the tables, our clothes, in the hall, bathroom and all over Alfie!
At one point we thought Alfie was a glittery Leprechaun! Georgia thought he was a green smurf, from the Trolls movie!
The Little Seedlings loved colouring in the masks. Tracie asked the children to choose any pen to colour the face in, but not to colour the eyes as we are cutting them out.
What’s the first part they all coloured? Yes the eyes!
Even the Wildlife Rangers enjoyed taking part before and after school.
Emma and the children have made these wonderful Mother’s Day cards for Sunday.
They made lovely prints and cards, Emma made templates of the word ‘Mum’ and placed them on-top of pink card. The children then used their fingers (some hands!) to make dots around the template so when it was removed the word Mum was highlighted with colour.
Emma adapted the prints for each child, Theo wasn’t too keen on finger painting so he used a paint brush.
Charlie and Sophie chose to make a mosaic card by sticking coloured paper strips into a heart shape and colouring in the front with pre-drawn heart shapes.
The children loved this activity and were all very proud to give them to their mummies. They proved this by asking every day since making them if they could take them home.
Happy Mother’s Day to all our Mummies!
This week we have been celebrating Chinese New Year. We all decided to make dragons like the ones we see on the television and in our books.
We spent the whole day making dragons and all felt proud of them. The wanderers and wildlife rangers all took them home to show their mums and dads.
We all made the most of our hours exercise today in Stanley Park. Jacey made everyone laugh pricking his bottom on a Yucca bush.
The children went on a treasure hunt and they found some Snowdrops, Purple Crocuses, lovely Red Dogwood and a Mugo Pinewood which looked very prickly.
It was wet and windy today so we decided to stay indoors to sow our seeds. We used items out of our Recycling bin to fill up with soil and sow the seeds.
Martha found this egg box and said she thought it would be good to sow individual seeds. Ivor said we might be able to see the roots grow too! The children loved the marks the egg box made in the soil.
To Celebrate Chinese New Year the Seedlings and Wanderers have all been busy bee’s making pictures to be displayed as an arch. Usually we would go on a trip to Liverpool’s China Town but due to the lockdown we had to bring the arch to us.
The children worked so hard and this is our amazing Chinese Arch.
After such a busy morning we were ready for a Chinese feast, Emma and Tracie joined in too! The children tried Chicken Chow Mein, Spring Rolls, Prawn Crackers and some very sticky noodles.
Everyone loved the Prawn Crackers, Rice and Noodles, but only Martie, Tracie and Emma liked the Chow Mein and Spring Rolls.
Leo cant wait to celebrate, he made his own dragon with the soft play.
We are getting ready for Chinese New Year, the term-time children made their contribution to our Chinese Arch early so they didn’t miss out.
