Week Beginning 26th March 2018 - Westmeston

We have had a great week and have had a lot of fun doing Easter themed activities. We have hunted for eggs, chicks and bunnies, made chocolate nests and we have made lovely cards. It has been sunny, it has rained and it has been icy cold, all in the space of a week! We have had coats on, coats off and coats on again! On Wednesday we voted, despite the rain, to go up the mountain. We have never been up in the rain before and we got very wet and muddy. It was ok though becaus

It turned a little bit warmer this week once again and we were able to play outside without coats at times. We have been painting, drawing and sticking. We have been getting messy making salt dough. We have been practising our pencil grip doing various activities and we have been making patterns with loose parts. We enjoyed playing in the woods and have been climbing over logs and gates. We talked about birds and how they communicate with each other. They sing and chirp whe

A group of children went out for a lovely walk on Monday. There was some still some snow on the ground and the children wrapped up warm. They headed to the local park - on their way they looked at the daffodils, trees, house numbers and road signs. When they arrived at the park they had fun running around, trying to keep themselves warm. They understand that movement can help to keep their bodies warm. They used all of the play equipment, slides, swings and roundabouts. They

We have had a wonderful week with lots of time spent in the sunshine. It has been so warm at times that we have haven't had to have our coats on! Spring is well and truly on it's way! We have been trying extra hard to put our shoes and coats on, taking them off and remembering where on earth we have put them! The bushes make very good hiding places! We have been talking about healthy eating and exercise and we played a fun game with Mrs Hilton as we tried to guess what thing

Welcome back to Westmeston after our exciting snow week! We really missed you but we are sure that you had lots of fun with your families and friends! There was a little bit of snow left in the car park which we made the most of with Miss Edwards' sledge! We had to be careful that we didn't go too fast down the slope!!!! We have been very busy making Mothers' Day cards and helping to make beautiful flower gifts. We had to carefully use the pedal of Miss Vincent's sewing mac

We have had an amazing week. It has been super busy. On Monday some of the children went out for a wonderful walk. They went to the nature reserve to check for tadpoles. They were interested to see a new sign that had been put up to ask dog owners not to allow their pets to play in the wet meadow to help protect the frogs. On the walk they spotted lots of birds’ nests. We spent some time last week looking at birds’ nests and the children were interested to spot them out
