The children in EYU experimented with lots of different ways to use a pumpkin. Some experimented with hammering golf tees into them, whilst others baked pumpkin fritters.

Concentration and Creativity in the EYU workshop

Super concentration from our children busy being creative in our workshop area. They worked alongside each other chatting as they completed their models.  Their enjoyment and levels of involvement were high. Super learning!

Forest Schools

The children in Early Years have enjoyed their time in our Forest School. They have been exploring the use of outdoor space, developing their gross motor control, as well as investigating different bug habitats.
