as inappropriate weather, only inappropriate clothing!  Above: "Workmen" and "Wet Weather Explorers".

 

Main Indoor Area                                                       Children are encouraged to self select the items they need to construct their plans.

 

 

 

Our Sensory wall was part of a project using the children's handprints.  Children find it hard to resist touching  the wall.

..and Kai our Bearded dragon                                                                We use the surrounding park as much as possible.

                                     

We have a vegetable garden.

  

We have Fergus, Glen of Imaal puppy (puppet)         ....and Chloe Cat (puppet) who is a Ragdoll Cat

 

Both these puppets are allowed to have overnight stays at children's homes.  The children write/draw/photograph

their experiences with Fergus and Chloe.  The Rats are also allowed to be borrowed for children to share with their families.
