This week we have been Fire Safety Officers and have learned all about keeping safe on Bonfire Night. We have also been mark making  using different media, including shaving foam, glitter and paint. We have explored colours and practised our cutting, tearing and gluing skills to create lots of fantastic fireworks and beautiful bonfires.

We have been practising our number recognition and counting skills by playing number games with our loose parts and natural autumn objects.

We had a lovely woodland walk this week, with lots of fun exploring and playing with the Autumn leaves. We also loved playing Circle games in the woods.

Our Small World road and town toys have helped us to practice traffic light awareness, to help us be responsible and to stay safe. We also learned how to safely toast marshmallows around a firepit and we made Smores with them which were delicious.

Just a wee reminder that, now the weather is changing, named wellies and waterproofs are helpful so that we can continue to play outside as much as possible. If you have any queries about this please speak to a member of the ELC team.

Finally, we had a lovely afternoon tea party to say ‘Goodbye’ to Mrs Ward. We all enjoyed the delicious food and beautifully decorated tables.  It was a very special occasion and we will all miss Mrs Ward very much.
