colder the children
started working
on crafts inside relating to Bonfire
Night and Remembrance.

encouraged
the children to use their senses, mathematical

ofthe world. Mothering
Sunday gifts
were made and an Easter Egg hunt was held before breaking
up. The
children
all enjoyed looking and finding the chocolate eggs to take
home.
Our manager
had been working
with the area SEND team to obtain an
EHCP for one of our children
and after months ofhard work, at the end
of February the playgroup
were informed
that the child had a EHCP in
place. They also had a place at a local special school from September
2022.
As weather was so nice Summer term was spent outdoors as much as
possible. Playgroup
requested
all children to have sun cream applied
and to wear sunhats.
Children

strawberries
and edibl@flowers

which they took turns to water. The children
leant
about healthy eating and exercise. A week was spent exploring
mini
beasts outside. To celebrate the Platinum

large crown to go into the Church's
Flower Festival display.
During
June and July the children created lots of lovely crafts and made cards
