This afternoon in the 2’s we have been listening to our story of the term ” The Very Helpful Hedgehog”. We are becoming familiar with the story and the characters. We carried out some apple printing to link in with our learning of the story.

This morning in the 2’s we were learning all about Autumn animals using our new laptop. We played some Autumn animal matching games and listened to some Autumn songs. We love using ICT to enhance our learning!

We are learning about Autumn and have chose the story “The Very Helpful Hedgehog” to help us with our learning. We have set up a focus table so we can explore the learning of the story. Today we made our very own hedgehogs from our painted hands.

It was a very windy start to the week and through discussions with the children we decided to try and build a kite. We began by sourcing materials. We chose to use material and some bamboo canes which we had spare in the garden. The morning children wanted to create a giant kite and chose a triangle design. The afternoon children went for the diamond shape and a much smaller design. The next step of creative was to give our white piece of material some colour. Lots of fun was had using brushes and pipettes to create splashes and blobs of colour. Our last step was to try and put it together and hopefully (fingers crossed) it would fly. We took our creations out into the school playing fields to allow us to be able to catch a good gust of wind. Our kites did fly, albeit a few inches off the ground, but the children had lots of fun trying to make the kites fly. We have attached the kites to the nursery fence just incase we have another blustery day.
