Keeping the children safe is our number 1 priority, so our annual Easter Egg hunt with families was this year replaced with fun and exciting Easter themed activities throughout the week , including finding the eggs hidden around the setting.
We also enjoyed preparing for and taking part in our own Carnival, as celebrated in many cultures, usually before Lent, involving public celebrations, parades and street parties. We made homemade masks and provided the children chance to dress up before we had a parade around pre-school to ‘chase away the winter and welcome spring’. We finished off our busy morning with a yummy doughnut.
Thinking about pattern and colour as we began on our Easter creative activities. 
Using boiled eggs to think about gentle hands, if we hurt the egg we can’t take it back. 
We were excited to try using stickers and dye to decorate our hard boiled eggs. 
We couldn’t wait to take the stickers off of the eggs when they dried to see the resulting patterns. 
We had a lonely egg visiting pre-school, the children decided the most important things to provide were a bed, food, things to play with and friends that they eagerly created. 
Sharing and taking turns with new toys and resources 
Carefully looking after our egg characters. 
An invitation to create masks for our CArnival parade. 
Dressing up provided on the final day of term proved very popular. 
Where are those eggs? 
Parachute fun to finish our busy term.
