Hello everyone
We hope you have all had a lovely week. It has been great to see the sun back out and we can enjoy some outdoor learning again.
Here is what the Early Years Team have been up to this week.
Mrs Conlon has enjoyed making some jam tarts for Mr Conlon as he said these were his favourtie treat that his mum used to make him when he was a young boy! She has also enjoyed cooking lots of lovely meals at home in the slow cooker as well as having a go at making home made tortilla chips. They were delicious with the chilli. Mrs Conlon has also enjoyed engaging with some different workouts with Joe Wicks and some Disney mindfulness colouring in the evenings.
Mrs Grout has enjoyed taking part in a virtual quiz online with her husband and she was so pleased to win a virtual cream tea. Well done Mr and Mrs Grout. We hope you enjoy your delicious treat. She has also been watching her cucumber plants as they are starting to grow quickly now!
Mrs Aquilina has had a busy, but exciting week. As well as doing the daily PE workout with Joe Wicks, and home schooling her children, her step- son and his wife had a baby girl on Saturday, so Mrs Aquilina is a grand(step)mother!!!! Plus she has been baking again… this time providing well-deserved snacks for her eldest son and his work colleagues who are Key workers. She made them rocky roads and no- bake chocolate and peanut butter cookies!! Delicious.
Mrs King has had a very quiet week relaxing each evening with her family. She did challenge Mr King to a game of scrabble… she hasn’t let on who won though. Who do you think won the game? Mrs King also had her new mattress delivered yesterday and she reports that she had the best night sleep ever last night! Sweet dreams Mrs King!
Miss Deacon was inspired by Mrs Aquilina’s baking last week so she had a go at making cinnamon swirls! They were absolutely delicious and a hit as they were all gone in 2 days!
It is a good job that Miss Deacon likes birds (you all know this because of the bird feeders she fills up at school) because in addition to seeing the ducks last week she now has blue tits nesting! They have chosen to nest in a nest box near her garage and she is lucky enough to see into the nest box because of a nest box camera! The pair spent a long time building the nest and eventually the mum laid 9 beautiful eggs. The mum sat on the eggs for 14 days and then they hatched! Since then both mum and dad have been busy feeding them! It’s such a great opportunity that Miss Deacon has to watch the blue tits bring up their chicks. She will keep us updated!
