The Chronicle

Our Stay 'n' Play toddlers had a fantastic, fun filled session when they joined us for our annual finale the Teddy Bears' Picnic. In a busy morning they enjoyed plenty of teddy bear craft, sticking and gluing cut-outs of teddy bears and created some colourful masterpieces.

Play Leaders Gail and Mary had put on an excellent indoor picnic feast which the children really enjoyed sharing with their adults and their teddies.

It was lovely to see so many familiar faces together.

Little Crackers Stay ‘n’ Play will be back after our Summer break on Wednesday 11 September in our regular time slot of 10.00am to 11.30am. Our first visiting activity will be Drama Tots on 25 September.

We look forward to seeing you all then.

Apologies to all our Dad’s… last week I completely forgot to wish you all a Happy Father’s Day, I do hope you were all properly spoilt and enjoyed your special Sunday. 

We have been extremely relieved this week to get outside and have made the most of a little bit of dry weather.  The pre-school helped me clear out the shed on Monday and it sparked some fantastic conversations about the ‘monsters and beasts’ we found, as well as a slug race too!  It is easy to forget the simple joy of chasing slugs, worms and woodlice! 

We also took our phonics learning outside, and some of us used the letter stones to build and blend simple words, checking each other as we said the sounds out loud. 

I have made a request for ‘loose parts’ in our newsletter, (e.g. buttons and corks, NOT a new hip!!) please have a look at the list of bits and bobs we are interested in finding, and maybe over the summer, as you have a good clear out (!) you might find something we could use. 

Have a great weekend and don’t forget, pre-school are celebrating their graduation next Tuesday afternoon.
