Insects invitation

Soil, sand, logs and planting made a realistic environment for toy mini beasts. The children used lots of rich vocabulary and shared their knowledge with each other.

Bug hunts galore

Everyday there has been many requests: “let’s look for bugs” “I want to find snails” “I want to find a colony of bees”.

Still life: flowers 🌼🥀🌱

Painting flowers from our garden. The children discussed the colour and texture of each flower and stem. Although some took the term ” paint the flowers ” literally; adding splashes of colours to the real flowers.

Scones please

A large group of children helped to make scones; they followed the recipe and carefully weighed each ingredient.

New skills and vocabulary

The children helped to strip a bike using various sized spanners. They were introduced to lots of new words: wheel, pedal, chain, spanner, bolt and tyres.

Getting our exercise in

We were lucky to borrow the gymnastic apparatus from the school; the children engage well in physical challenges.

There were monkeys galore.
