  LJ'S campsite

  Posted by Mrs L Jesters

  Today the children built their own campsite and pretended they were camping in the woods. They used logs and seats, a fire and cotton balls for marshmallows. We then decided to extend this and build another campsite in our outdoor area. This time we used a real tent and crates for chairs.

  Woodland Animals

  Posted by Mrs L Jesters

  We have been thinking of what 'Small' animals we might find in the woods. Today for our tuff tray we set up a bug hunt. The children used a magnifying glass and a pair of tweezers to collect as many bugs as they could find. We learnt the names of lots of bugs today!

  Fireworks

  Posted by Mrs L Jesters

  Some of the children have been sharing their experiences of watching fireworks this weekend. They told us the colours that they saw and what noises they made. SO today we set up a glitter tuff tray for them to have a go at creating firework patterns using a chopstick and a painting activity where they used sliced kitchen roll to make firework prints before sprinkling them with glitter.

  Measuring

  Posted by Mrs L Jesters

  Today we used small rulers and a large ruler to measure objects we found on the field and in the woods. We used our ruler to help us work out if our objects was bigger or smaller than what we were looking for. After a long search we eventually found the perfect object which was exactly the same size as our ruler!

  Room on the broom - Potions

  We have been thinking of different ways to make potions and what items we can use to magic up some special spells. The children made a cauldron in the woods using a tyre and added leaves and sticks.
