On our first snowy day the children could not contain their excitement. We decided to bring the snow inside. The children collected bowls and bowls of snow to fill our water tray.

They then used coloured cold water to paint the snow. “Rainbow snow” “I’m mixing them”

There was a very civilised tea party with tea and biscuits. The children were very careful while pouring ,stirring and lifting the special China cups. The discussion mainly involved their favourite drinks and their Mummy, Daddy, Gran or Papa’s hot drink of choice.

 

Loose parts

Our new loose part station proved particularly popular. There was lots of construction in particular Castle building and canons. Child L noticed that 2 triangles put together make a diamond. She then recited the nursery rhyme “Twinkle twinkle little star”

Shape challenges

The children were challenged to jump on the correct colour and shape. This offered them an active physical way of remembering 2 dimensional shapes.

Learn to draw using technology 

The children used the promethean board to learn step by step how to draw. Today was a day for dinosaurs. They showed pride in their completed drawing. But also gave compliments to their friends. “That looks really good”
