Playground update 23rd Feb

 Our wonderful carpentry area, is nearly complete.  A balustrade, laminate roof and gate to finish it off.

 Our step extension offers a little spot to read together on the side by the herb box.

 Our sandpit storage box will enable the children to access and replace the equipment they need and our water rill, allows water to flow down into the sandpit.

 The base for our messy kitchen is in - we are so looking forward to seeing this completed!

 Here is our muddy puddle area, next to the river bed, this is going to be fantastic.

We have steps going up both sides of the removable double slide structure.  I can see this being used for all sorts of fun.

Our Playground is half-way there!!

 This is so exciting!  I keep popping in to Uxbridge and the progress has been amazing.

 The team from Natureplay have stained our old playground structure and all our wooden steps and structures and they have all come up so well.

 The Sandpit has begun to take shape with lovely logs to sit on and climb over.

 I can see the pump now that leads water down our river path and into our mud pit.

 This path will give yet another surface for the balance bikes to zoom across.

 Lovely steps - safely painted - and a herb box for us to look after.

 This little bridge will lead the children across the river into the messy kitchen.

Our old shell garden is now our new carpentry area.

The fun has begun!

The demolition of the old playground has begun.  It is very exciting and  a little unnerving to see our playground being pulled apart.

 This is going to be where our swing apparatus go - and will be a flat surface from the top edge of the old sandpit.

 This is looking down over the flat surface to our slides which take us down to the next level.

 This is our mulch garden walking into our new sandpit and messy kitchen.

 The top play structure stays and so do the side steps.

The digger will put the sand into the new sandpit and top it up and then the whole area will have astro turf placed on top of it.

Christmas Party 2016!!

Oh my golly gosh, we just had the best time at the Christmas party.  The weather was great, the bouncy castle was superb, there was face painting and delicious food and best of all Santa came to visit us!

We had a great turn out from parents and extended families and most importantly the children had a fantastic time.

Our very own Teacher Claire Xmas Tree 🎄

🎄🎄 At bubble time today we had a bit of a laugh decorating teacher Claire up as a christmas tree!!  She sat very still as we all took turns at choosing decorations to drape and hang from her branches, we loved the tinsel and made sure we covered her all up from head to toe to make her glitter and shine!!

Making our magic reindeer food!

We have been so busy getting ready for christmas!!   Today we made some reindeer food to sprinkle on our lawn Christmas Eve, this will help guide them to our house and keep them re-fuelled and full of energy to last their busy night.  They have a very important job to do helping Santa deliver all the presents to all the boys and girls around the world.  We hope they like it!!  Just add a few carrots and don't forget a little something for Santa too!
