Please use the 'Tapestry' app or the 'home learning' book to share evidence of your child's learning, This will mean at the end of the school year we will have a complete record of their achievements.
If you have any questions please contact me at

Physical challenge
- At school the children enjoy making their own play dough.
- I have attached the recipe that we use.
- The children and I make it together all the time and it only takes a few minutes.
Play dough recipe:
- 2 cups plain flour
- half to one cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil (or any sort of edible kitchen oil)
- half a cup of table salt (this is optional, but acts as a preservative and adds a bit of extra texture and body to the dough)
How to make the play dough:
- Add the flour, oil and salt to a bowl and stir
- Add a couple of tablespoons of water to the bowl and start mixing gently
- Slowly add more water as required until you get a play dough consistency
- If the dough feels to sticky add more flour and more water if it is too dry.
- The dough will keep for a few days in the fridge in a sealed container.
What can you make will the play dough?
