With the paint this week we used rollers instead of brushes and looked at the different colours we mixed and the pattern each roller made.

We made “A castle” using the blocks this week, great team work was done to plan how to do it and then create it.

 

This then led on to bring the Duplo Castle set out which we were great at building independently, even the tricky bits! We especially liked the “Fire breathing dragon” that lived in the castle.

We had a visit from ‘Shelby’ and ‘Little Dude’, we learnt lots of facts about tortoises from the parent who brought them in and got to feed them some flowers too. Thank you for visiting us! 🙂

One of the children told us “If I was a tortoise I’d eat apples”.

We made our own necklaces and bracelets using the large selection of new beads and were very proud of them.

We practiced some sports day events at the football pitch, it was great to have so much space and some suntoo!

The Primary Sixes came to speak to us about Bike Safety and the importance of helmets and did some helmet pictures with us.

– Nature –

 

We visited the Pond and found lots of things in the surroundings, We seen lots of Painted Lady Butterflies, bumblebees and some spiders too,

We were managing taking risks by climbing the trees independently.

 

We said we were ‘Mams’ and we were ‘Cooking’ for our Babies.

We used loose parts from around the playground and said we were adding “Sugar”. We then sat down and said we were ‘Having Dinner’.

We said the blocks were ‘Raspberry and Strawberry chewing gum’.

We wanted to take back some of the nature items from the playground and chose water and colouring to mix in with them.

  We said the gloop was “Sticky”.

We expressed an interest in role playing Doctors so took out the Hospital box which sparked lots of conversations and learning around job roles.

Playing ‘Doctors and Nurses’. 

We took down Doctor notes for each ‘patient’ and helped them get better with bandages and ‘Strawberry medicine’.

We requested to take the car mat and cars outdoors.

 

We made a fresh batch of playdough and picked orange food colouring to add to it, we said we thought the new children that were visiting would like orange!

We used the paddling pool for something different this week, we thought it was very cosy and comfy!
