Welcome to this weeks blog post. 

This week in Class 1 the children have explored cornflour and water. when mixed together it creates gloop.  The children wanted to add shaving foam, cinnamon and conditioner, this creates a thicker texture.  The children continued to show interest in blowing bubbles.  We have been outside looking under the logs, we found worms and found out about where they live and what they eat.  The fire engines continue to be popular, the children are beginning to incorporate this into their role play.



This week in Class 2 the children have explored the shark in the park story, we provided small world items for them to extend this.  On Tuesday the pirates had visited Forest School again and left the children autumn treasure hunts to complete.  The children used egg boxes to collect their items and decorated the boxes with pictures from the treasure hunt.  We have enjoyed looking at the items the children have collected on their Autumn walks, we have provided frames for the children to create pictures with their autumn treasures.  On Wednesday the children role played parties so we provided them with party decorations.  We continued the party theme on Thursday, making cakes and bunting.  This week our poem is "the wise old owl".

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
