We loves Apples!
This week at nursery we have explored the world around us while in the garden. We found Apples on the apple tree that were ready to be harvested.
- We worked as a team to collect all the apples.
- We used our maths skills to sort the apples into piles of big and small.
- We observed that some where not ok to eat, the bugs and birds had got to them first.
- We washed the apples before we could eat them.
- We made apple muffins and apple crumble.
- We practised our stirring, chopping and grating taking care to follow instructions.
We loved trying our crumble, muffins and apples at snack time before voting the apple muffins as our favourite! We love apples.
