Playgroup Out and About!

Fire Station Visit 

Children at Playgroup recently enjoyed a visit to Nayland Fire Station. They learnt about keeping safe on Firework night and about the about the equipment the firemen use. They were all very excited when they were allowed to sit in the fire engine. Thank you to all at the fire station who helped with our visit.

Barnardos Toddle Waddle

Well done to all the children, parents, carers and staff who took part in our sponsored Toddle Waddle in aid of Barnardos. We sang nursery rhymes as we walked around the school grounds and then returned to Woodland Corner for a story. Children received a sticker and fridge magnet. Barnardos is the UK's leading children's charity helping the UK's most vulnerable and disadvantaged children. Please return sponsor forms and money to Woodland Corner as soon as possible after half term.

Picnic in the Park Sunday afternoon, 25 August

Nayland's Picnic in the Park (the field next to the Village Hall) is on 

Sunday afternoon, 25 August, 1pm till 5pm. 

Preceded by the Famous Duck Race in Fen Street, this family event is a chance to picnic with your friends and neighbours. Just bring your food and drink, picnic rug/chairs for a lazy Sunday afternoon together. Pimms and BBQ food will be on sale.

Please let Mandy Cook know if you'd like to step up to the Open Mic and sing/recite something. Local band Electra are providing the PA and performing so the sound quality will be great. Along with some much younger stars,  Sam Pentney and Ash Brandon are singing and playing guitar too. It would be great to hear you if you'd like to join in! It'll all be happening in the Village Hall should it be raining. 

Enjoy a last 'Hurrah!' before the end of the Summer Hols and Picnic in the Park!!

Wild Encounters at Woodland Corner!

Today at Playgroup we had some very exciting visitors. Marc Woolnough from Wild Encounters came to show us some very special creatures, including a Blue Tongued skink, two Giant African Millipedes, two snakes and a huge stick insect. Some of the children were very brave and stroked or held them. The stick insect didn't have a name so the children named him Sid, after one of the children at playgroup.

There are some photographs in the gallery but we took too many photographs to put on our blog so we will have them printed and they will be available to buy at the end of next week.

 Marc's website is http://wildencountersworkshops.co.uk/booking-details.asp.
