The Daisies class enjoyed planting a range of cress seeds. We are hoping over the next few weeks that if we keep watering them, the cress will grow and make our photograph plant pots look like they have crazy hair!

The Daisies class enjoyed participating in Harvest activities. We practised our cutting skills on a Harvest themed worksheet, used the SMARTboard to join dot to dots to draw a range of fruits and vegetables and had great fun during an apple and spoon race!

The Daisies class have enjoyed some Harvest themed activities. We loved making a dingle dangle scarecrow using a range of 2D shapes. We also used cheerios to make a corn on the cob craft.
We used the cheerios and blitzed them to make a cheerio sand sensory tray. We loved exploring this! Some of this also enjoyed tasting the cheerios.

The Daisies class enjoyed exploring some Harvest themed sensory trays today. We had a dry tray with lentils, frozen peas, pasta and green beans which had harvest themed pictures hidden underneath. We also had a wet tray filled with jelly and baked beans. We used this to explore a moving tractor and practise some tipping and dumping.

The Daisies class enjoyed a range of maths activities today. We split into pairs and helped each other complete some counting cars tasks. We had to add the correct number of cars to the hula hoop. We attempted to sequence the numbers 1-20 by popping balloons on the SMARTboard.
Finally, we went on a potato hunt around the classroom and managed to find and sequence the numbers 1-20.

The Daisies class enjoyed a messy sensory play experience linked to our theme of Oliver’s Vegetables. We explored the potato and used potatoes to stamp some painting pictures. We explored mashed potatoes and added some food colouring and practised some colour mixing opportunities. We used a dropper to slowly add the food colouring and practised our mixing and stirring skills with spoons.
