Happy Halloween ๐ŸŽƒ

Itโ€™s a Halloweโ€™en fangtastic day here at Cart Mill. We have taken part in a variety of autumn learning experiences across each of our play rooms and garden.

We made spooky mud pie potions in our mud kitchen.

We also turned our water tray into a witches and wizardsโ€™ caldron using food colouring, shaving foam and different sized containers to create more potions.

We had opportunities to create Halloweโ€™en coloured crafts in our gross motor art area

In our Home Room we sang Halloweโ€™en songs and made Frankensteinโ€™s green and purple sparkle playdough. We used our fine motor skills and imagination to mould our playdough into different shapes.

In the baking area we made witches fingers for snack (breadsticks with pumpkin seeds) it sounds like a yummy spooky snack.

In our Discovery Room we made a spooky block castle, using our creative and problem solving skills.

We also had our pumpkin potion experiment in our science area using our investigation and discovery skills.

And finally, in our Studio Room we were making Halloween houses, painting with our hands and creating wonderful pictures.

Some of our children came to nursery dressed up, here is a showcase of some of our many spooktacular costumesโ€ฆ..

Happy Halloween to all our families. ๐Ÿ‘ป๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ‘ป๐ŸŽƒ

First aprons on and hands washed, table cleaned ready to start..
