Spring & Summer (of
sorts) Events
In April the sun shone,
the birds sang and the children spent lots of time
outside, with their sun cream and hats on. If it carries
on like this, we thought, we will have to air condition
the play area and replant the garden with cactus and
palm trees. So we ordered a large gazova for the play
area and waited for the sweltering days of our now
tropical summer….
|
|
…. But the gazova could
not be made on time because the factory was under 3 foot
of water and although the hose pipe ban ended we didn’t
need the hoses to fill the paddling pools because we had
our own lake in the car park…..
|
 |
|
And
when it is that wet, even pulling teeth is preferable to
playing outside |
 |
|
So when it rained on the
day of the teddy bears picnic, the only thing to do was
to have a picnic indoors. If the teddy bears weren’t
happy, the children did not seem to mind too much. |
|
|
Fortunately it stayed dry
for our trip to the Cotswold Wildlife Park in May and
bad as the weather was during June and July we managed
to get outside most days. And after all that racing
around outside you need a snack to keep you going you
know.
|
|
|
Sports Day
eventually went ahead at the third attempt and
as usual the children had to jump through hoops
to persuade the staff to brave the elements and
go outside.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Potatoes were planted
which was very serious. But digging them up was a
scream!
|
|
|
Eventually the Gazova was
erected, the sun came out and we could all enjoy a
barbecue lunch in the garden. |
|
|
Who needs toys when you can play in a large cardboard
box?
|
|
You can have a
party in it
|
|
|
You can
chill out with your mates in it
|
|
|
You
can get a grown-up into it (just) |
|
|
Or you
can just be on your own in it |
 |
|
What to do when it is wet outside….? |
|
 |
 |
|
………………..Get wet inside of course! |

Acorn Day |
|
|
We had
our annual Acorn Day on 18th July and this
year our special guest was The Mayor of Bassett,
Mrs Audrey Wannell. She and her husband, Councillor
Wannell, came to the nursery in full regalia and
presented our school leavers with their certificates and
prizes |
 |
|
Book of the Month |
|
|
Each
month we include a book in our activity planning and the
children help make displays featuring things, places and
characters in the book. This display was for Charlie
and Tyler Went to the Seaside |
