The Hangout

What a lovely day! The Hangout had a wonderful trip to Blackpool Zoo. We loved seeing the different animals in their habitats, watching them move, eat and interact with each other. It was so exciting to see what was around the corner! The children were amazing, displayed brilliant listening…

During Remembrance Week, The Hangout enjoyed a poem story book ‘Where the Poppies Now Grow.’ This was a really lovely book to read and the illustrations were just amazing. We enjoyed looking at the characters and taking about feelings, we put ourselves in their shoes to imagine what it must have…

Some children in The Hangout enjoyed a trip to Parbold Equestrian Centre to take part in a Stable Lives program. It was an amazing experience, the children listened and engaged really well and had the chance to use different brushes to brush the ponies.

We enjoyed using our own soft toys when learning about ordinal numbers. 

What a fab first week we have had in The Hangout. It is great to be back with our friends and in a routine again.
