Welcome to this weeks blog post. 

This week in Class 1 the children have been taking their own pictures with a real camera.  They have made marks with paint using a squirty bottle and created a fire engine from the blocks.  The children have made their own playdough and explored shaving foam with ice.

This week in Class 2 we made dinosaurs out of junk modelling.  We went to a very wet forest school and Tuesday and we were so excited to find a letter and treasure from the pirates, we left them one in return!  The children also helped to make the bug hotel, thank you for all the items you brought in for this.  We made gingerbread men and some of the children were able to decorate them.  The children have shown a keen interest in the bear hunt story and wrote to the bear, today the bear sent them a parcel and asked the children to make a cave so they did!  Next week we will be making soup.  We are looking for lots of real items for our role play area, if you have any hats, scarves, glassed, purses, bags, shoes, clothing, phones, trinkets etc please do let us know.

Hello and welcome to this week’s blog post.   This week we have added 20 eggs to our incubator and we now need to wait 21 sleeps (approximately) for them to hatch! Class 2 have started planting, if you can donate any seeds or plants please take an item from the wish list (on Class 1’s garden fence).   We also have a new water table and the children have been exploring this.   Some of the children wanted to find out more about nocturnal animals and used the iPad.   We also found ladybirds in the garden and added them to the bug hotel. In Class 1 the children have been role playing as fire fighters, they used spray bottles filled with water to put out the fire. They have also measured how tall the sweet peas have grown. Tomorrow the staff team will be attending Helicopter Stories training with Trisha Lee from make believe arts.   Caroline has already attended training with Trisha and the children in Class 2 enjoy making up their own stories to act out on ‘stage’.   So

Hello and welcome to this week’s blog post.   T his week we have been counting down the days waiting for the eggs to hatch.  We now need to wait 14 sleeps (approximately). Today we had a visit from some lambs and the children from both classes had an opportunity to meet them. Class 2 have some new tadpoles and the children have been watching them eat the lettuce we have fed them.  Earlier in the week, some of the children found mint in the garden and wanted to use it in the mud kitchen.  We then provided some mint in the classroom for the children to explore with scissors and mix with various media.  The children have been making pirate maps using teabags and using chalks to make marks in the garden.  We experimented with raisins and sparkling water to make the raisins dance and the children have worked together to make a river in the sand pit.  On Monday we went to the school hall for music and movement and we have spent a lot of time outside in the sunshine.  We have plan
