Since the beginning of June here at Buttercup Lane Childminders we have been getting excited over this years Olympic Games and then there has been Euro 2012. We have had early morning fun in the sun with the football in the garden practicing our footballing skills and dare we say that some of the skills shown were better than some of the England skills on show over the last few weeks. We have also been following the Olympic Torch Travels and especially today as it came into Morley. We have a number of fun and educational yet physical activities planned for whilst the olympics are on for all our children. Not forgetting Wimbledon, so we are dusting off the tennis rackets, its going to be one full packed summer and we intend to enjoy every minute of it.
We attended a training course yesterday that was Early Years Fun Stuff linked directly to revised EYFS. We have lots of fresh and exciting ideas for fun activities that all fall into the Early Years Foundation Stage framework. We are going to introduce some of the activities into June’s activity plan and we will see how successful there are. Ask us about the new Birthday Boxes a great idea for all the children to get involved in birthday celebrations, Mini-me pegs, Book of the week & 3 item story time.

We have just been to Rothwell Park to test the new kites for this weeks outing and they are wonderful. Huge bright and they both look stunning in the bright daytime sun. We urge all families to pay attention to the sun and be aware of sun burn. Please make sure you have plenty of sun protection cream with you. Just 5 minutes in the mid-day sun can burn you so be careful, There will be a prize this week for the best sun hat so bring them along to Buttercup Lane Childminders in East Ardsley and lets see just how much fun we can have this week.
This year is moving fast and there is no time to be sitting around, never a dull moment at Buttercup Lane Childminders, we have planned every week for the next 6 months and this includes lots of new places of interest to visit.

We have been having lots of fun this week seeing the new additions at Temple Newsam, we have seen the white donkey and all the lambs and piglets. Everyone had lots of fun in the fresh air and we all walked for miles. Not sure how their little legs managed it, at this rate we are all going to be super fit for the summer.
