This week in IEYC the children have been very busy in the garden using the mud kitchen to make cakes and pies and then onto magic potions. Lots of team work and good use of language.
Some children were interested in the tree surgeons working in the field opposite they very kindly brought various sized cuttings to the garden and the children have been building with them and learning more new words such as bark, tree sap, twig and branch.
Indoors there has been colour mixing with water, paint and playdough. The children have been experimenting and recording their findings.
In the snack area some children have been squeezing the oranges to make juice so we are planning on making a variety of fruit smoothies.
