The cups and lolly sticks were built and balanced on top of each other and then made into a soft play area and a movie night for Peppa Pig and all the people from the dolls house. The cups were even balanced and built as tall as one of the children.

 

There was some great thinking when the children looked at the pictures of the Lego bricks and copied the pattern of the bricks. This led to building a boat for the animals and a soft play structure for the tiger.  The children have been builders in the garden using the new den making kit in our new construction area as well as making their own cement in buckets by mixing water and sand together to build some amazing structures. There was a lot of very sticky fun and tasting too when the children melted chocolate to make cement to build biscuit towers. Again, there was some great thinking of what was being built and lots of chatter about halves and how to make roofs for their buildings. The children loved watching the chocolate melt and dripping it onto the biscuits and often dripping it onto their fingers to have a taste too! We hope you liked their crunchy architecture.

 

There was exploring shapes when the children used the Lego bricks in the paint and then printed them onto paper to make tower shapes and even initials of their names. The children loved using the real tools, just like in our story, by cutting the wood and banging in the nails to join the pieces of wood together. They were so good at listening to the safety rules of using the tools and how to use them effectively, and they were very proud of their creations.

 

Mr Luke kindly filled our outdoor sandpit with 10 bags of sand so we can enjoy making bigger sandcastles and, of course, bring home more in shoes and pockets.

 

There was so much excitement for the RHPA Easter Egg Hunt. The children were super quick to collect all the Easter eggs and ducklings in the baskets and, as they had helped the Easter Bunny, they won a chocolatey surprise. We hope you enjoy some too!
