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.

“We’re on a pirate ship, We’re the pirates”.

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.

“Look I found some berries”.

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.

“This is the airplane,We’re going to Africa”.

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.

“Look, car tracks”.

Following on our interest in cars, Miss Young helped us to create a ‘Car wash’ for them as they were a bit mucky!

 

 

We found a ‘Secret passage’ through the trees and discovered we could follow it all the way through and get out at the other side.

 

“I’ve made a camp fire”.

The blocks outdoors have been used well this week to create various things such as ‘paths’ to balance on, A ‘puppy house’ & ‘puppy toys’.

We explored different ways to get the wood to balance and problem solved how to make it ‘higher’ and ‘lower’ and then if we could go ‘under’ it or’ over’ it.

“It’s a garage”.
We said we were ‘Puppies’- “I’ll draw around you to make your paw”.
“We’re having babies, this is the hospital”.

We took the bikes to the multi-court and spoke about road safety, we were great at keeping ourselves safe and wearing the helmets.

We welcomed a new start this week and have all been very kind to help them settle in 🙂

 

“The road goes all the way up here”.

We had a visit from Anne Marie who came and read us her stories about Peerie Oorlicks, she then helped us make our very own Peerie Oorlick with paper, felt and wool.

 

Please feel free to have a look at our floor book outside The Nursery door which The Children have lots of involvement in adding their voice and pictures each week.

We have also started a ‘Family’ display in our quiet room if you would like to contribute your Family photo you can email the picture to the main office for us to print off 📸.
