group observations.
You

Policies of the week
We are
currently updating our policies. When these are finished we would like some of
our parents to review them.
All you
would need to do is read some or all of the policies and give some feedback on
them.
If you
are interested please let me know.
This week’s activities
Each key person will be responsible for designing
an activity based on their key children’s needs; however, all children who are
in on that day will have the opportunity to access the activity too.
If the key person is on holiday or off, another
staff member will be able to lead the activity in their place so that the
children do not miss out.
For more information on the Early Years Foundation
stage, the guidance we use to support our planning and practice, please visit:
This week’s planned activities are also are now on
the ILD’S
Forest School
The Forest school group found a big
puddle and walked through it in their wellies.
Lee made a fire and they all
collected water for hot chocolate.
They all talked about which animals
eat worms and looked at pictures of moles, squirrels, a robin and a badger.
They then had to put “worms” on those that ate them.
A few of the children made necklaces
using a saw and drill!
