Welcome to this week’s blog post.

This week in Class 1 the children have shown an interest in the sand, we made a sandpit in the classroom and the children used animals, cars and pots in there.  They also created short stories.  The children wanted to make the colour pink, we experimented to find out how to make the colour.  The children showed interest in camping and we created a tent to support their play.


This week in Class 2 we have been exploring Diwali.  The children watched short clips introducing them to the festival and we asked them what they would like to do.  Following on from this they have made Diva lamps from salt dough and vegetable curry for snack.  We also had some scarves for them to dress up in.
We have used golf tees to hammer into pumpkins and lots of the children have told us about fireworks and Halloween!
The children have shown interest in role play involving tickets, we had a cinema and a bus station.  This involved lots of mark making and working together to build their props.
We continued with the letters and sounds programme with a listening moment this week and we have a new poem, Falling apples.
The pirates had visited Forest School again and left the children items to make mud paint, we also tried to make a rope swing but we will take a ladder to make it higher next week!

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
