Baby Visit
We are very excited to be having a baby visit Busy Bees tomorrow morning to cooincide with our 'Babies' week. The children have really enjoyed looking at each other's baby photos and staff members baby photos and one child commented that they would like to meet a 'real baby'. Tomorrow will help reinforce the learning from across the week when they get to see a 'real baby' and ask his Mummy some questions.
Forest School Session 08.05.12
Forest School sessions for the Summer Term began today. The group of children participating were very enthusiastic and listened well throughout. We played log circle games including '123 Where Are You?' and we talked about the Forest School boundaries. The children enjoyed a scavenger hunt and introductions to 'Jack and Boo's Wild Wood' which we will be exploring more next week. Next week, we will be using clay and woodland resources to make creatures or characters from the book. Don't forget your wellies and waterproofs!
