Today we had the chance to visit the Police HQ 👮 🚓 We all had a fantastic morning. We watched a drone display where the police officer showed us how far away the drone could fly and the videos it could take. The children were mesmerised and all cheered when it landed back on the landing pad! Then we went and had our finger prints taken (sorry if they are still a little black!) and a look around the police van. They even put the lights and sirens on for us. A huge thank you to Wiltshire Police for putting on such a fantastic age appropriate morning for them all, we really appreciate it. Thank you for all of us childminders and little ones.

We had a lot of fun today at our end of term party. 🎉 we had glitter tattoos, face paints, disco, parachute play, musical bumps, pass the parcel and then we all sat together for lunch and treats. After lunch they all had great fun on ride one, trampoline and see saw 💞 we wish those that leave for preschool and big school all the best. We will miss you a lot but know you will thrive at school. 🏫

Following on with our transport topic, we were very lucky to have a trip planned to go on a barge ⛴️ . The children had a fantastic time and were very fascinated with the water splashing out when the locks were opened. We saw lots of wildlife on our trip too, swans, ducks, dragonflies, butterflies and damselflies. It was quite exciting too when all the childminders had to help when the boat got a little stuck when turning round 🦆 🦢 🦋

Today we continued our topic of transport and looked at trains. The children loved creating train and carriage pictures with paint, stampers, stencils and sponges. Some beautiful creations. 🚂 🚊 🚆 we also played with the train track and trains and finished the session with “Great Big Train” book 📕 the children showed great listening skills.

We extended their interest by trying to build a train from the foam mats. Lots of helpers and lasted a “little” while before it burst at the seams! 😂

Some of our friends went on a real train this week too.

Children had great fun during our imaginative and discovery play session. Our tuff trays were transformed into hospital stations where children took on the roles of caring paramedics, ambulances, doctors and nurses.

This week, our little artists brought some of our favourite stories to life! To wrap up our colour-focused activities from the past term, the children loved exploring “Elmer’s Parade” and the Rainbow fish.
It was wonderful to watch them:
Identify a vibrant selection of colours.
Explore different textures through collage
Create their very own colourful masterpieces.🐘🐠🌈
