Hello and a very HAPPY NEW YEAR to all! One week in and we have all been having a great time at Stepping Stones already. It has been lovely to come back and welcome some new faces. With that in mind, it seems like a good time to remind you that after Christmas we start to get a lot busier. [...]
It's Monday, it's raining but nothing gets us down at Stepping Stones. We had a great time exploring The Three Little Pigs last week. It was great fun huffing and puffing all over the place. The children loved making houses out of hay, sticks and stones outside in forest school and trying to blow them back down again. We also [...]
...there was a pre-school and it was called Stepping Stones! :) We have had a cracking return to Stepping Stones after the summer break. After our first full week last week, we are very happy to be back into the full swing of things. Last week our topic was 'Our Favourite Stories' and we have very much enjoyed reading lots [...]
We have had a great first day back at Stepping Stones today. It's been very chilled out, allowing the children to settle back in smoothly. The atmosphere has been really lovely. At Stepping Stones we follow a termly theme, very similar to in reception. What we do is break the terms down into weekly topics which are related to the [...]
With highs of 26 degrees expected this afternoon, the weather couldn't be any more different to what we have been experiencing over the last few weeks. And we welcome the sun with open arms. However, nothing stops us at Stepping Stones, come rain or shine. When the outdoor calls, out we must go. So last Wednesday, after enduring many a [...]

It's been in the diary for a while. Friday 14th June, the school will be empty! With a trip to Rosemoor planned for Class 1 & 2 and D-Day celebrations on Saunton beach for years 3 & 4. Naturally, that got us thinking. How can we make the most of such an opportunity? We started the day by explaining to [...]
We cannot thank Phil from the RNLI enough for his exciting and insightful visit to Stepping Stones this morning. Not only did he take the time out of his day to visit us, he really did an excellent job of making it fun, interesting and engaging for the very young ages that he was presented with. Thinking ahead Phil sent [...]
Hello and welcome to another Stepping Stones blog post, being sent to you all the way from Never Neverland. Since our last post the plan was to move on from the Peter Pan theme and start exploring Jack and the Beanstalk. However, it appears that Mandy, Harriet and I are far better at channeling our inner Pirates/Crocodiles than we are [...]
It has been a very exciting couple of weeks at Stepping Stones as we have converted both the classroom and the forest area into Never Neverland. Looking at the story of Peter Pan as part of our 'near and far' topic, there hasn't been any time for a dull moment. Pirates, magic pixie dust, ticking crocodiles and mermaid lagoons have [...]
