March has been a getting ready month. We have been digging and weeding the garden ready to plant all our lovely flowers and vegetables. We have made a start by planting our seed potatoes and tomato seeds. The garden toys have been liberated from there winter hibernation in the shed and we now have nice clean sand in the sand pit outside. The guinea pigs are now back in there outside hutch, I’m sure they miss the hustle and bustle of the inside because every time the back door opens they are squeaking for attention.
We celebrated Mothers Day and Red Nose Day this month. This year we made finger painted watering cans complete with seeds for our mummies and we made special chocolate truffles as a mothers day present. We celebrated Red Nose Day with a large group of other childminders and there minded children with a special Gruffalo story time and tea party were we raised £250.
Our focus topics this month were Spring and Farm Animals. We made wiggly worm number 3’s and read about the three little pigs. We also focussed on the colours Orange and Yellow making some fabulous egg box daffodil’s.
