Unfortunately the house kept falling apart so the children decided to eat it instead!

Elliott and George’s Tree

We decided to make gingerbread men instead to decorate, it was far easier for the children. However the end result was the same… they ate them and took one home for someone special, nom nom

Water Play

Posted on by Tracie Dowling

We are having such lovely weather at the moment, however it is making the children very hot and bothered. Emma suggested we do an activity in the water to cool them down.

  • Working Together
  • Putting Ideas into Place

Martha and Ivor used the hand puppets to wash each other down to cool themselves. Alfred kept putting the toys into the pool and Bramble took them out for Alfred to put back in.

Martha asked if she could put the slide into the pool and slide into the water. By the time Emma put the baby down, Martha had moved the slide herself! Everyone watched her then joined in taking turns.
