Welcome to this week’s blog post.

This week in Class 1 we have had water trays indoors, this has been very popular with the children and we have provided a variety of different sized tubes, jugs and bowls to support the children with tipping and pouring.  We have explored the concepts of full and empty.

We went to Forest School on Tuesday and dug for treasure.  The children also used binoculars to help them look more closely at the worms.

In the class room the children have used big blocks to create enclosures for the small world animals and people.

This half term we have introduced cause and effect items including wind up fans, we have had fun exploring how to make them work.  This also helps to build up the muscles in the children's hands.  

This week in Class 2 we went to the school hall for music and movement on Monday, all the children were amazing at trying to get their own shoes and socks off and on again.  

This week the children have been making up their own stories and acting them out on stage, we also learnt a new poem 'popcorn, popcorn'.

The children have made their own playdough and experimented with mixing paint to create new colours.  We also make various potions using different coloured water and anything else that we could find to add!

We have been continuing letters and sounds this week, the children have enjoyed playing teddies lost in the jungle.  You can find more information here file:///C:/Users/Rebecca/Desktop/letters%20and%20sounds.pdf

On Thursday we made a castle cake following a request earlier in the week from one of the children.  Next week we have had a request for snowflake biscuits!

On Friday we went to Forest School, we went on a bear hunt, found lots of bugs and took turns on the rope swing.

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
