excited about my new classroom!!!

oooo i am really excited about my new classroom. We went in today to drop off a few things and well, mainly so i could take a look at my new classroom and the carpet that has been fitted this week! IT IS MASSIVE!!!! Ok so it does not have any furniture in it at the moment but it has to be one of the biggest in school and i cant wait to fill it with our bits and get it how we want it!

The plans so far are to have a role play / reading corner, a maths station with all our much needed maths equipment (we have the lower set this year and i am relishing the challenge of that... now!) and i have started making some bunting to go along this window to add a little softness and colour. We also have full use of the outside area beyond the double doors so we plan to fully use that in our day and bring the outside in. I am also on the look out for some wicker baskets and things so i can add some natural, waldorf sort of elements to it. We are still Lions so i can keep my lion banner ooooo i am so excited!!!

We are sure we will get ofsted this year, and soon probably so i am keen to get it all as ready as we can before the last week of holidays, that way we can hit the ground running and try to avoid the "oh my goodness" sinking feeling we get in the first week of school!

While at school we ventured into the garden area. This has aboviously been left untouched for a few weeks so i caned back some tomatoes, discovered some big yellow courgettes, some peas and some beetroot!! Girls love it in there too.
