We had a fantastic day out today at Temple Newsam Park, The Weather was beautiful for February and there were loads of people there enjoying the facilities.

Along with the long walk, we went Tree Root Climbing, Duck and Swan Spotting, We played Find the Penguin and Pig and this kept them entertained for hours until Karl let on just exactly where the penguin was.  The swings and fire mans pole slide was every bodys favourite and we all had a very good time.

We have a fantastic new educational pen at Buttercup Lane Childminders, Ask Lia to show you it. The pen is like no other it reads pictures and asks you to group items together using flashcards.
Its amazing and helps with Maths and English. We played with the pen for hours and we cant put it down.

Well what can we say about Legoland, It huge and there is fun to be had in every inch of this wonderful place. We had two full days of total enjoyment even though it was very hard work. There is so much to see in such a short space of time. We did not even cover half of it but though the special offer we got made it very worth the while, we enjoyed it so much so that we are already planning next years visit to see the other half.

There will be a full detailed report and all the pictures from the trip. But the trip included lots of Physical Development, Knowledge &amp; Understanding of the World, Personal Social &amp; Emotional Development, Communication Language &amp; Literacy , Problem Solving Reasoning &amp; numeracy &amp; well as Creatice Development all key areas of learning at Buttercup Lane Childminders in East Ardsley.
