Welcome to this week’s blog post.

This week in Class 1 the children have continued their interest in the ‘Bear hunt’ story, the children have started to retell the story using the pictures as a prompt.  We provided the children with materials to work together to create a den and in the garden the children made a river using the water from a puddle, they then had lots of fun jumping in it!  In the role play area, the children discovered that when they squeezed an orange juice came out and they pretended to drink this.  We extended this interest with juicers and oranges for the children to make their own orange juice to drink. 


This week in Class 2 the children have shown an interest in the supertato stories, we noticed that the conkers were a similar shape to the evil peas so we painted some green.  When the peas had dried the children added eyes, capes and masks!  We continued making characters from the Supertato stories using tomatoes, corn on the cob and butternut squash.  On Tuesday the pirates had visited Forest School again and left the children clay, they made some wonderful models from the natural resources on offer including a pirate hook, spider, snowman and a swirly monster.  On Wednesday the children role played Doctors so we provided them with items to extend this, we have since made a Doctors surgery!  The children showed an interest in the juice from the satsumas, we provided them with oranges and juicers for them to make their own juice.  The children have learnt all of our poems and they are keen to demonstrate this to us, please encourage them to share these with you at home.

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...

Hello and welcome to this week’s blog post.   Tonight is our Disco, tickets are still available on the door.   All money raised will help towards the improvement of Class 1's garden! We have continued to count down the days for the eggs to hatch.  We now have just 7 sleeps (approximately)! In Class 2 we climbed a ladder at Forest school and explored all of the new growth.  The children have been experimenting by mixing cornflour and water, then later in the week custard power and water.  We have started the cake station this week and the children have been adding their name to the waiting list, using their name label as guidance.  We have used the tap tap shapes to make pictures and putting together puzzles.  It has been very wet this week and we used powder paint to mix with the rain water and made pictures using the brooms.   In Class 1 the children have been exploring messy play with the shaving foam and the sand....
