This week at Cheapside, we will be exploring dinosaurs. 

As so many of our chaps love dinosaurs, we thought we would introduce them to some fun activities and experiences. 

It will be interesting to hear your feedback on what the children tell you!

A big thank you must go to Mr.Flynn (Miss Daniels other half!) for making our new water exploration tubes. 

The children are having great fun pouring and watching and waiting for the water to emerge. 

This is a great resource to add to our water play.

At the last rugby session before half term, 4 of our Mum's came in to see what we get up to. They volunteered (!!) to have a go at kicking a penalty and as can be seen by their wonderful Johnny Wilkinson wiggles, they were all fabulous and nearly knocked our poor rugby coach out with their kicks!

Please remind the children that show and tell is throughout the session and not at register time. 

Thank you.

We will be having a chilly time at Cheapside this week, as we will be having a science investigation week using ice. Large blocks of ice will be sprinkled with salt and different food colouring, then as they melt, coloured tracks and tunnels will be revealed. We will be charting the progress of melting ice, both inside and outside and may even attempt to make simple graphs to note our observations! 

We will also be dancing and 'freezing' to music; using movements needed when skiing, building snowmen, throwing snowballs or any other winter activity the children can think of!

Show and Tell:  Mm, Nn, Oo


Don't forget next week is 'Winter Fest' week. If you would like to come in and join in some wintry craft activities with the children, please let us know. We may even treat you to a cuppa and a cake!

Children enjoyed dressing up and playing in our World Village last week, which included a special Chinese Restaurant and "Sari" House, pictured here with 3 enthusiastic children in fancy dress.
 
Our Let’s get building theme will be exploring tools and machines for building this week.

We will explore blocks for building in the sand tray, using trowels and “cement”. We will be building using different methods and resources with recycled materials. Our toolsets and big builder contain lots of tape measures, screwdrivers, nuts and bolts to explore. We will be using construction vehicles through our mini world resources and playmobil sets.

We are sharing things beginning with Ss Tt Uu during show and tell.
