Will I ever learn

June 11, 2013
I am so sorry I shouldn't have remarked on the weather maybe we should keep our wellies at Poppets for a while ??

Instead of out Toddle Waddle today we had an indoor picnic and learnt about ducks, we made duck hats, paper plate ducks, found out that ducks use oil to keep their feathers waterproof, their webbed feet are a little like flippers and they don't wear goggles for going under water but we do !

We hope to Toddle tomorrow (wed 12/6) but if...

Poppets children have enjoyed role playing the story of the little red hen this week planting seeds in soil, using flour to mark make and the play-dough to knead and "cook"  bread.  Your children were able to tell us the names of lots of different bread types.The one we liked best was Tesco bread for the freezer...
