How can it be Friday already?
It has been a lovely week with lots of time spent outdoors, the days have been filled with water play, problem solving, sorting, counting, measuring, numbers, face painting, reflection on times gone by, welcoming new babies and mud kitchens!

​Quote for the week - Great things often start off small

Have a lovely weekend, see you all Tuesday.

What a week we have had in Acorn class!
On Monday we discovered the pond has a leak and our water tray has a hole in it. Water, water every where...
Along with mopping up water we have made time to paint tadpoles, draw spring flowers, play football on the field and frisbee at forest school. 

Red noses, little giggles and team work at forest school

We have moved on to a new topic in Acorn class and are busy finding out who helps us when we are at school, out and about with our families and in an emergency. Last week we invited Kath into nursery to find out how she helps us at school even when we are not here. We had a tour of the kitchen with Mandy and Nicki, they told us what goes on in the morning before our lunches are ready. This week we are exploring how we can help each other and care for others. We also made time for pancakes, magnetic dinosaurs, farm building along with forest school, searching for creatures in the pond, clearing out leaves and enjoyed the sunny afternoons! 

During this week we had some lovely conversations about our family pets belonging to children, mum's, dad's, auntie's and grandparents. Thank you to all who sent photo's in.
The children took themselves off on train journey's, big and small. On the decking a trail was created and helpful hands meant no one was left behind. creations of love and affection ended the week.
And, last of all our performance in the talent show.  Well done to all our little green frogs, you were fantastic!

I don't know how we fit it all in but, we do!
The children have continued to request Dragons and loud music so we took our Dragon dance onto the decking, we have escaped to the calm of forest school for a bit and the decorators were busy in the home corner. Lots of creativity with paint, cutting and snipping, drawing and building with magnetic blocks. We continue our topic on animals and next week we will look at what animal's live in our homes.  

Happy weekend!

EY team

A week filled with Dragon dancing, noodle rolling, chop stick struggles, lantern making, yummy lunches and rice explosions!
That was just our Luna New Year celebrations. We also made time for creating, mark making, shape drawing, number ordering and a kennel full of dogs on leads.

​Happy Friday

Our week has been filled with thoughts and talks of woodland animals, acorn class were very interested in Hedgehogs, where they live and what they eat. As the week has gone on we moved into a different environment and our conversations moved onto creatures in the ocean....
How big are they?
What colour are they?
how do they move?
After reading Room on the broom together the children were inspired to make potions using playdough and a sprinkle of magic.

​Happy Friday!
 

It has been a cold week on the decking, a cosy week inside and a burst of fresh air at forest school!
cold hands, warm coats, pink noses and wellie boots!
Our topic for this half term is Animals. We will be exploring where they live, what they eat and how they move about. Along with exploring Chinese culture in preparation for the Luna New Year January 29th.
