Last week of term
We did some ‘cooking’, we said we were “Making pie” and “Something spicy” that needed “Cooking in the oven for four minutes”.
We hydrated the soil in the polytunnel as it had dried up.
Mark Making
We have done some amazing drawings this week that have been very detailed and involved speaking about different emotions of the people in each drawing.
“We’re in our bear hunt house”.
We said the bear couldn’t see or catch us from our ‘hidden house’.
We used the new polytunnel for a number hunt, some of us could recognize the big numbers from 10-20.
Thank you to everyone who took part in our tattie guessing game and purchased bags, the total number in the bucket was 230. Well done to the winner with the closest guess of 205.
We tasted our tatties at snack time and thought they were yummy. We then used some to print in paint to create some great pictures.
Following on from all our tattie
work this week Miss Hay read us a Supertato story.
Miss Young found a rose hip, she cut it open us to see the seeds and to smell.
The autumn coloured rice has been popular this week for scooping, filling and pouring.
We built a den, lots of us could squeeze into it.
We loved Mr Travins singing to us whilst we had our snack.
We had our gym lesson outdoors again, we did lots of energetic play, games and used great imagination and skills with the balls and the hoops.
We’ve been busy at the block play area making “hay for the horse” and “A Castle”, we did great team work to problem solve and build.
We baked some cupcakes to end the week and use up cupboard ingredients, we looked carefully at the scales to weigh each ingredient out in grams.
Homegrown Tatties
Back in May we planted some Tattie seeds.
We’ve been checking on them to see if they were growing and watering them over the months. Today we dug them and discovered loads of Tatties had grown, we gathered a whole bucket full!!
We thought we would do a ‘Guess how many Tatties are in the bucket’ game to be able to win a bag for free, this is available outside the nursery door for 50p a shot. We will then be bagging up the rest for you to purchase for £2 a bag, please let a staff member know if you would like a bag.
All money will go towards our Nursery fund for purchasing new resources for our environment.
They were all difference sizes, some were big and some were really really tiny.
