stay and play
St Clement’s Stay and Play has been very busy. The child are having an amazing time exploring, learning and playing with their friends, whilst parents enjoy spending time with their little ones and chatting with other parents. It is a weekly session that is not to be missed.
Forest School
The children have been making the most of the area at lunchtimes. I taught some of them how to make bracelets using a special method of plaiting four pieces of wool. It takes a lot of concentration! 
In the afternoon Year 5 have enjoyed team building games amongst other activities.
The children had to turn over the tarpaulin without anyone getting off. It was quite tricky!
Forest School
This week I have enjoyed getting to know the Year 4 children and helping them explore our Forest School area. It has been lovely to see them using their imaginations, being kind to each other and having fun!
The children are helping me to cut the smaller branches off the larger ones so that they can be used for den building and other activities.
Prefect Training
This years school prefects working hard in training.
Forest School
We have really enjoyed the sunshine this week.
The area has been busy at lunchtimes with children making bracelets, making animal homes and hunting for insects. We found an ants nest. We watched the ants crawling around and disappearing back down the holes to their nest.
Some Year 3 and some Year 4 children have been out with me in the afternoon. They have been learning how to keep safe during Forest School sessions. We have to remember to walk around the fire circle and stay within the grass area at all times. On Wednesday afternoon we were joined by a small bird. We think it was a Greenfinch. The children enjoyed watching it fly from branch to branch and one child commented that they had never been so close to a bird.

Look out for all the fabulous things they will be doing, share your ideas with them and take note of the ‘UNICEF Children’s Rights’ they will be promoting.
Learning Through Stories
This week we held our first ‘Learning Through Stories’ session. The course runs for five weeks and is delivered by Megan Sour. The first half of the session parents learnt techniques in how to engage their children in stories. For the second half, parents were joined by their children and put to test the new skills they had learnt. The first book to excite the children was ‘Handa’s Surprise’. The children made their own books and enjoyed some yummy fruit.
