Fun and exciting activities
Although we create Long and Medium term plans, our everyday plans are based on the interests and ideas of the children, as well as on the environmental and current events. Previous examples are:
Autumn brings us sunshine, harvest, fireworks and christmas. For most children this is when we get to know them and help them settle in.
Spring brings us interesting weather to explore, waterproofs, pancakes, world book day fun and Easter. We're still outside for a lot of the session but there is more exploring inside too!
Summer brings back the sunshine, sports day practice, planting, teddy bears picnics and trips to the park.
