Rainy days and Mondays…

2022-08-18T13:27:08+01:00

It's Monday, it's raining but nothing gets us down at Stepping Stones. We had a great time exploring The Three Little Pigs last week. It was great fun huffing and puffing all over the place. The children loved making houses out of hay, sticks and stones outside in forest school and trying to blow them back down again. We also [...]

Once Upon A Time…

2022-08-18T13:27:08+01:00

...there was a pre-school and it was called Stepping Stones! :) We have had a cracking return to Stepping Stones after the summer break. After our first full week last week, we are very happy to be back into the full swing of things. Last week our topic was 'Our Favourite Stories' and we have very much enjoyed reading lots [...]

Stepping Stones – Weekly Topics

2022-08-18T13:27:08+01:00

We have had a great first day back at Stepping Stones today. It's been very chilled out, allowing the children to settle back in smoothly. The atmosphere has been really lovely. At Stepping Stones we follow a termly theme, very similar to in reception. What we do is break the terms down into weekly topics which are related to the [...]

Hi Ho, Hi Ho! It’s off to Forest School we go!!!…

2022-08-18T13:27:08+01:00

With highs of 26 degrees expected this afternoon, the weather couldn't be any more different to what we have been experiencing over the last few weeks. And we welcome the sun with open arms. However, nothing stops us at Stepping Stones, come rain or shine. When the outdoor calls, out we must go. So last Wednesday, after enduring many a [...]

When the Headmaster is away…Stepping Stones come out to play…

2022-08-18T13:27:08+01:00

It's been in the diary for a while. Friday 14th June, the school will be empty! With a trip to Rosemoor planned for Class 1 & 2 and D-Day celebrations on Saunton beach for years 3 & 4. Naturally, that got us thinking. How can we make the most of such an opportunity? We started the day by explaining to [...]

Stepping Stones and the Jet Ski…

2022-08-18T13:27:09+01:00

We cannot thank Phil from the RNLI enough for his exciting and insightful visit to Stepping Stones this morning. Not only did he take the time out of his day to visit us, he really did an excellent job of making it fun, interesting and engaging for the very young ages that he was presented with. Thinking ahead Phil sent [...]

Stepping Stones Take Off…

2022-08-18T13:27:11+01:00

A huge apology to the Stepping Stones parents and carers. You may witness some signs of Jet Lag this weekend and we fear it may be our fault. You see, we have covered a lot of miles this week. On Tuesday we got on a plane and flew to Africa for safari. This trip included an in flight snack, which [...]

Building bridges…and stories!

2022-08-18T13:27:11+01:00

Last week in Stepping Stones we explored bridges and this led to a huge array of activities. We talked about bridges and their uses. We built bridges out of lego, duplo, blocks, junk modelling. We also explored the 'Billy goats Gruff' story. It was a great topic and the children built some fantastic structures and started some amazing conversations. During [...]

Step aside Jack…Peter Pan is NOT finished yet…

2022-08-18T13:27:11+01:00

Hello and welcome to another Stepping Stones blog post, being sent to you all the way from Never Neverland. Since our last post the plan was to move on from the Peter Pan theme and start exploring Jack and the Beanstalk. However, it appears that Mandy, Harriet and I are far better at channeling our inner Pirates/Crocodiles than we are [...]
