The first signs of Spring in the Nature garden! Over the next few weeks, the Reception children will use their observational skills to observe how the Nature garden changes through Spring. We are excited. 🌻🌷🌺🌸🌼 @brunswickparkps.bsky.social @cosydirect.bsky.social

This is brilliant!

Play Dough 2 Cups of flour 1/2 cup of salt 2 tablespoons oil 2 tablespoons cream of tartar 1 cup hot water With food colouring * You can also add glycerine + more water if necessary. Any oil will do. Veg oil/ baby oil

This is our favourite play dough recipe. We don’t always use the Cream of Tartar but it does seem to help!

Our tip of the day is that Baby oil smells nicer than veg oil, and that you need to let it sit for a minute before you decide if it needs more flour. It usually doesn’t! #EduSkyPrimary #EYFS
