We ended our session with a Christmas story read by the fabulous Gracie. 

During topic week we learnt about Vincent Van Gogh and we looked at his famous painting 'Starry Night'. We then tried to create our own versions using his style of painting.

They were really yummy- we will certainly be making these again!

We had a brilliant day at Brockholes yesterday. We got immersed in the forest school ethos by building dens, painting with mud and wooden crafts. We even had time to spot a mini east or two! 

Over Easter the children were set the challenge to create their very own scarecrow. We had been reading 'The Scarecrows Wedding' by Julia Donaldson and felt inspired. 

We had so much fun outside today. Miss Woodward's Dad made us an amazing pallet house. We have been creating a police station. We also had a house in the chipping pit and a pirate ship on the rug!
