A HUGE thank you to Crown Decorating Centre, Gillingham! We are incredibly grateful to Lisa, Joe, Charlotte, and the whole team for their very generous donation of paints, rollers and trays, paintbrushes, wipes, and scuttles. This fantastic gift will provide amazing play opportunities for our children at Temple Mill School, supporting the launch of our new OPAL project and helping to inspire creativity, exploration, and hands-on learning every day. Thank you for your kindness and support – it will make such a difference to our children!
This week, the Reception children have been enjoying the spring weather while building dens and constructing transportation using a variety of materials. There were lots of discussions about how to secure different materials and what might happen to their dens in a storm. Many of the dens needed to be rebuilt when they began to collapse, but the children worked well as a team, revisiting and improving their methods for securing their structures.
The children in Caterpillar Class have been building their fine motor skills through hands-on play like drawing, threading beads, and using scissors. These activities strengthen hand muscles and coordination, supporting early writing and everyday tasks.
