Thursday 7th September

Baking day.

Today we fixed the house up.

Made a bonfire in the boat to keep us warm.

“Look at the bumpy wall” in our accidental picture.

We took pictures of each other.

Counting,  measuring, chopping and mixing.

Taking turns.

To make a fruit crumble.

We chose a bike or tractor and got out the filling station.

The farmers need Macdonalds for snack.

We found a turtle in the gym hall. “If you wobble it moves”.

Filling up the trailer with muck to spread on the fields.

Playing with our new dough and singing songs.

Next the trailer got filled with flowers and grass for the cows and horses.

Playing with the turtle and singing Tiny Tim.

Building a wall to fit the space. Lots of measuring talk.

“I’m taking the flowers to the field.”

Collecting leaves from the garden. See what we do with them soon.

Who is in the ark?

There was even time for a puzzle.

Thursday 31st August 2017

A busy morning.

We put some water beads in the water tray. They got bigger and bigger and bigger!

We used craft sticks and cellophane to make shapes.

Making colour choices.

Snap, snap, snapping!

Making courses with cones.

The beads got bigger!

“They feel slimey.”

Deciding which way to go on the bikes.

Our craft on the light box.

We had snack with the older children and played outside with them.

Catching fish.

Following instructions to brush our teeth.

Singing some rhymes and learning the actions.

Wednesday 30th August

Lots of imaginative play today.

The boat went into the boat shed to be fixed. We used the rope to tow it. Later we made swimming pools, a paddling pool, burgers and a combine harvester.

We played music to help the builders.

We measured with spoons and scoops.

The door stickers move so we changed some of the diggers.

We picked some beans to put into our stir fry snack.

Working out how to get the beans out was tricky. Next we counted how many beans we had. Then we talked about what the pod feels like.

The snack helpers washed and peeled.

Then we chopped our vegetables.

Time to cook.

The noodles were so long and wiggly. We looked at the noodles and talked about the change from hard to soft.

There was lots of outdoor play today. Bubble blowing, catching and stamping too.

Friday 25th August

Today we spent most of the time outside.

We chose some tools and got everyone a hat, then fixed the house.

We helped to bring the toys outside.

The boat was floating away so we talked about how to fix it down.

We used our toys to make bubbles.

We counted enough tatties for everyone.

Chose different coloured feathers, pushed them into the tattie and then…

we tried to make them fly!

Higher and higher!

Some of us sorted toys into matching sets.

We were looking for letter in our names.

Do you think we’re sleeping bunnies or cows or sheep?

We are crocodiles!

We snapped all around the school.

At the end of the session we heard The Very Hungry Caterpillar and sang our favourite songs.
