RNLI

We visited Fleetwood lifeboat station yesterday.  The shop opens especially for SOS day each year and the two staff members recognised us from last year and had a little chat with the children.  They all got a sticker too.  We donated £20 into the collection box.

We saw a lifeboat in the sea - it had visited from the Isle of Man and was on its way back again.  The children also had fun following the metal fish along Fleetwood prom and were quite disappointed when it was time to come home for lunch!

Week beginning 31st January is week 3

Little schools birdwatch

Yesterday the children made some binoculars using cardboard tubes.  They decorated them with lovely stickers.

We did the birdwatch today and recorded the different types of birds on special sheets.  We saw 25 different varieties of birds in the hour!  I've copied and pasted the record for you below.

RNLI SOS day on Friday 29th January

Next Friday is RNLI SOS day and we will hopefully be going to visit Fleetwood lifeboat station again, like we did last year. 

We will be looking at our RNLI magazines next week and talking about how the RNLI keep us safe.  Like last year, we will be collecting for them, so if you would like to donate any money we will take it with us on the Friday.

William is a member of Stormforce Sam, which is a membership of the RNLI for children.  The link is as follows if you are interested:

Madhatters

We went to Madhatters this morning and the children had a good time playing in the play area and also on the bus!

Week beginning 24th January is week 2

Feeding the birds

We will be taking part in the 'Little Schools Birdwatch' again during the next couple of weeks, so we filled up all the bird feeders this morning. 

Little Kaiden really enjoyed listening to the wind chimes and kept shaking them to make them jingle! 

We've been blogging!

We showed the children their own special blog today.  They had a chance to write a little something on their own page and put on some photos of their choice.  They all seemed to enjoy it and are keen to have another go.  We've explained that their mummies will get a password and that they might have a chance to post at home sometimes.  If not, we will look at the blog regularly here anyway so they will have plenty of opportunity to contribute. 

Thank you!

Thank you for my birthday wishes and to those of you who sent me cards.  Thank you to Adam and Victoria for the lovely presents too - they are very much appreciated xxxx

Guess who!

The children have recently been talking about the colour eyes, so we had a chat together today about what we looked like.  We all looked in the mirror and at each other, and talked about hair colour, eye colour, skin colour and other features of ourselves. 

The children then painted a picture of their faces, which we've cut out and put on our wall.  See if you can guess who is who when you come in!

Rhymes and songs

We had a great time this morning with the musical instruments.  The children played with a variety of instruments; shakers, rattles, drums and whistles.  We sang lots of songs and did some actions. 

Little birthday celebration

Eszme's mummy and daddy sent a beautiful birthday cake for us all to share today.  It was Eszme's birthday last week but her mummy had the week off to celebrate with Eszme, so this was her first day back after Christmas!  We sang 'Happy Birthday' to Eszme and all shared some cake.  It was delicious!

Week beginning January 10th is week 3

Baby news!

Lots of love and congratulations to Emma, Will and Erin on the birth of Kirsten Rose Phyllis yesterday evening.  She kindly arrived 10 days early and all is well.  She has arrived on a great day too - it was my dad's birthday yesterday; he is 75 years older!!

We can't wait to meet little Kirsten! XXX

Madhatters

We took the children to Madhatters this morning.  William and Thomas don't go back to school until tomorrow, so it gave them a chance to play and run off some energy.  All the children enjoyed themselves. 

Week beginning January 3rd is week 2

Happy New Year!

Hope you all had an enjoyable New Years Eve and that 2011 brings you health and happiness. 

See you on Tuesday!
