We’ve had a bit of a musical theme going on today.

We learned about symmetry today when we painted butterflies for our Elmer wall display.

We painted some small butterflies and some very large butterflies!

Oliver made some vegetable soup in the playhouse outside.

“What can I cook now?”

“I want tae mak more butterflies.”

“Can I have some water to make a cup of tea?”

One of the large butterflies. We think it looks amazing.

Mrs Odie brought in her ice cream making machine. We all helped to make chocolate ice cream.

We mixed in coconut milk, honey, vanilla and cocoa powder.

“Can I look at the machine? Waw!”

Now time to taste the ice cream with some fruit at snack time. Delicious!

Look at how many butterflies we have made!

We read a funny story about pants!

Look what we’ve been doing today.

The rain poured down but we were determined to get out. We put on the waterproofs and had a great time playing on the newly finished pirate ship.

We welcomed another new pupil to nursery today.

Mrs Marshall got some new sand for us to play with. We did some raking and made sand castles.

More outside play in the rain and the puddles.
