We are absolutely delighted to have welcomed all of our children back to playgroup this term. It’s been great to see so many of the children whom attended with us before lockdown and meet some new friends who are starting out on their playgroup journey.
All children (and parents) have adapted really well to the new routines and measures put in place and seem to be enjoying the new look playgroup.
We have been very excited to be able to start using our newly refurbished allotment this term. The children have loved exploring the area and are helping to plant bulbs and plants ready for the spring.
We hope to grow many delicious vegetables to be able to enjoy these at snack time and in our cooking activities, and will be having many fragrant flowers and herbs to support children with additional needs and to encourage children to use all of their senses to explore the world around them.
We will be teaching the children about composting so that they can learn about growth and decay through composting their recyclables after lunch each day and have a fabulous area for our mud kitchen where the children can develop their imaginations and interactions with others.
It’s been wonderful watching the children digging in the soil and helping with the planting and their language really develops when they can talk about what they are feeling and observing first-hand. There 
are so many benefits to the children exploring outdoor environments and we are looking forward to seeing how time at the allotment will develop their understanding of the world around them.
