Saplings were super stars whilst watching the Panto.  They cheered along with the rest of the audience and booed the bad character.

Our Little Elves are ready to help deliver your Christmas Cards. So please come and post them in the Postbox outside the school office.


Image


Oh no, what’s Buddy up to now?


Image


Saplings were very active during their P.E. lesson. They travelled in and out of cones, jumped over cones and even competed with each other.


Image         Image


Look who’s back! Saplings were very excited to see Buddy the Elf this morning. We are keeping a close eye on Buddy as we know he is going to get into mischief throughout December.


Image


Saplings sang some Christmas Carols and listened to the reverend talk about the importance of Christmas.


Image Image 


Saplings arrived at The Longcauseway Church for Carol singing.


Image Image


After the recent cold snap, Saplings discovered ice during outdoor play. We discussed how it felt and what would happen when it melted. One child said “It’s slippery, hard and freezing like an ice pop.”


Image Image


Image Image


Saplings had lots of fun exploring the snow during outdoor play. They used lots of descriptive language such as “cold, freezing, crispy, icy and crunchy”.


Image Image


Image


Saplings made bread just like Little Red Hen. They followed the recipe card, added the ingredients and kneaded the dough to make delicious bread.


Image Image



Saplings had a wonderful stay-and-play session with their parents. They sang lots of nursery rhymes such as Miss Polly had a Dolly, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, 5 Little Ducks and many more.


Image Image Image Image


Saplings were very enthusiastic about singing 5 currant buns in a baker's shop. They had turns being the shopkeeper and customer. 


Image



To celebrate Remembrance Day, Saplings printed poppies using sponge to remember the soldiers that we have lost.


Image


Saplings walked very sensibly to the library. They had a lovely time choosing books and talking about kindness.


ImageImage



We look forward to seeing you at our Early Years Open Evening!


Image


Saplings continued creating rangoli patterns during outdoor play.


Image Image 



Saplings have been learning all about Diwali, the festival of light. They had fun taking part in the activities during continuous provision.


Image ImageImage Image



Well done to Saplings for making such an amazing effort with their outfits for International Artist Day.


Image



The pumpkin stay and play was a great success. Thank you to all the parents who came and tried all the fun activities. 


Image Image Image Image



After reading Pumpkin Soup, early years made some vegetable soup. They did an amazing job.

Saplings ventured to the forest school to create self portraits using all the things they could find in the natural environment.


Image Image



Saplings enjoyed reading the colour monster and expressed how the monster was feeling in the book. They then created sensory bottles to help them understand and express their own emotions.


Image





At Carlton our love and commitment to music is very special to us. This is why we have been designated as a ‘Music Mark School!'
