Sharing our PEEP learning!
Cody took his list to the shops to collect the ingredients he needed to make his homemade pizza. He used the recipe from the Peep pack and followed the instructions to make it. He made a fantastic pepperoni and cheese pizza which looks so delicious! Hope you enjoyed it Cody, it looks great!
PEEP Pack – May
This month is all about things to do and talk about together. We have the usual, stories, songs and information resources. It is pizza making, recipe, shopping lists etc and planting herbs/vegetable seeds which could be used in the cooking.
Outdoor Learning
Today we went a walk to the ‘Whispering Woods’ behind Meldrum Primary school. We had lots of fun exploring this new area. We found lots of trees that had been cut down and enjoyed climbing on these, moving our bodies along the trunks in different ways. We jumped off the trunks making sure we landed where the ground was flat and safe for us to do so. We went exploring the stream and enjoyed paddling in the shallow water and following the stream under the bridge. We built a trench using branches and enjoyed sitting inside it, maybe next time we can have a story sitting here. We were hugging some trees and using describing words to express how they felt. Some of our descriptions of the trees were, “they are like chicken nuggets”, “tickly”, “Like rock and liquid”, “furry” and “like a smoothie”.
April PEEP- Home Learning Pack
Sharing PEEP home learning!
Cody and his mum made this beautiful book all about what he likes. The book is based on the song ‘These are a few of my favourite things’ from the Sound of Music. This is a fantastic story book. Well done Cody!
This Week…
The children have been showing an interest in Pirates and under the sea in the nursery and in the garden. They have been playing ‘Shark Attack’ at the obstacle course using the equipment as a safe place from the sharks, climbing and balancing on the various pieces of equipment. The sharks can attack if you are in the sea, the grass. They extended this by introducing jellyfish and mermaids.
In the nursery the children have helped develop the tough tray into the sea and have been making treasure chests. There has been discussions about the different creatures we will find in the sea with the children providing lots of information. The treasure map was also discussed and the children were talking about finding the treasure at “X marks the spot”.
*SAFETY NOTICE*
Can we ask that if you are sending grapes in your child’s lunch box, that you please ensure they are cut at least once lenthways. This is to prevent choking! (Grapes are the perfect size to get stuck in small airways.)
We are very lucky and have not had any choking incidents and we would love for it to remain that way! Thank you in advance!
Sharing PEEP learning- March
Charlotte made her own book using the resources in the latest peep pack. March was all about books and celebrating World Book Day. Super job Charlotte!
Outdoor Learning
Last week some of us went out on a scavenger hunt, collecting twigs, stones, leaves and pine cones. We then used these to make our own twig skeleton.
Here are some of describing words-
Josh- “it tickles” (fir tree)
Madison- “it feels like a banana” (cone)
Alfie- “the cone is spikey”
Kyle & Cody- “hard” (stone)
Callum- “strong” (stone)
