Little Oaks Childminding

I am currently on maternity leave, I am not checking messages on a regular basis, I currently do not know when I will be returning to work.

We LOVE puddles 💦

We changed up our week this week, we went to forest school on Monday. We made rainbow bread to toast and listened to story about a Nightingale. First time having a go at archery for Lucas.

Tuesday we went to Home Farm at Attingham and fed the new lambs and Dave the goat. The kids loved all the animals and ride on tractors.

Wednesday we enjoyed some time at the allotment helping out including podding some beans ready for planting.

A few photos from our week.

We’ve been to Attingham Park and had a picnic in the deer park 🦌

We’ve been back to RAF Cosford museum to see the new Chinook helicopter 🚁

We went and fed the ducks at Dothill nature reserve 🦆

And today we’ve been to Wrekin Forest School where we’ve planted potatoes and made chocolate orange brownies which we cooked on the fire 🌳

This afternoon we’ve made Mini eggs cookies 🍪

We’ve been enjoying the sunshine this week, lots of fun activities. The garden equipment came back out and we’ve been to the playground.

We got creative in the garden with paints and canvasses….paint splattering, using sponges and forks to make different marks.

We’ve baked cakes for Mum’s 🧁

I’m now looking forward to a couple of days off 😎

First forest school of the year! It’s one of our favourite places to be, the kids have missed it 🌳😀

A few photos from our week of fun!

Jam splats and lemon wedges - pancake counting 🥞 part of our pancake cake themed day.

First we counted the number of dots on our pancakes, we when needed to match the right number of jam splats or lemon wedges to that number. For Nell I also progressed it to ‘if I gave you one lemon wedge, how many jam splats would you need to get to five’.

Play dough pancakes followed by the real things 🥞

We started the week with a half term treat, a circus skills day at . The girls had a go on aerial hoop and hammock and enjoyed plenty of jumping on the arch mat.

At home we’ve built train tracks, castles, worked on our balance and colouring matching.

Today the sun shone so we headed back outside to and explored dens, climbed trees and wandered through the snowdrops

It’s and here are a few favourites of ours. All are great kids days out!
