Due to the British weather being such a joy, the children have had the opportunity to enjoy a range of different weathered activities. They have read in the sunshine, paddled and fished in our puddle, and explored the story of ‘Noah’s ark’ in preparation for the storm ️ The children have planted our ‘red nose’ seeds, and have thoroughly enjoyed observing and monitor them as they grow 

In accordance with our ‘people who help us’ in the community theme, we were lucky enough to have a visit from Rackheath vets, who shared their expertise about caring for the well-being of animals. The children then put this knowledge into action during a teddy bear clinic They skilfully used stethoscopes to detect their teddy’s heartbeats, learnt how to apply bandages and engaged with a feely bag activity. In addition, we had a visit from PC Jennings, who explained to the children all about his role and responsibilities in the community.

Us Fabulous Fledglings had a week full of Celebrations in preparation to King Charles’ Coronation  The children have been in full creative flow; constructing our sensory Union Jack, creating fantastic flags and decorating themed cupcakes and biscuits All in preparation for our Coronation Picnic, in which Fledglings joined the big school for festivities. In addition to a visit from the Parish Council, whom kindly gifted the children a Coronation medal. We were so impressed and proud of the children; they listened and interacted amazingly  

Our little chefs have been back in action, making Easter ‘Chocolate Nests’ Carefully mixing their ingredients, before spooning them into their cake cases and beautifully decorating them Providing the opportunity to investigate weighing and melting ingredients, and explore the importance of health and safety. We were also super lucky, as we had our very own visit from the Easter Bunny himself! After sending us this wonderful letter, he kindly hid eggs around our garden, ready for the children to discover  Once they had found them all, we headed back inside where they were surprised with a chocolate Easter egg to take home Which were very thoughtfully provided by the fabulous FOSS team, and very gratefully received by us! 

Something that recently warmed our hearts was this beautiful drawing by Emily, who stated “I’ve drawn all of my Fledglings friends. Everybody has a smiley face, because we have so much fun.

Fledglings had the best time celebrating ‘World Book Week’, we explored colours and shapes through ‘Elmer’ books, numbers and counting through ’10 Little Pirates’, and had lots of outdoor, sensory and fine motor fun through the ‘Gruffalo’ books. 

It was wonderful seeing the children (and us adults) dressed up as their favourite storybook characters, extending this into their role-play and peer conversations. The children brought in their books, which we thoroughly enjoyed reading during group time, and discovering lots of new favourites to add to our collection.
