  Construction

  Posted by Mrs L Jesters

  We love construction at Little Jesters and you will often find that we are always adding and changing our materials. Today the children enjoyed the large bricks and were encouraged to build something special. One of the creations built was a 'Princess Castle' where team work and turn taking took part to make this amazing creation.

  Whats a Magnet?

  Posted by Mrs L Jesters

  The children explored how magnets work in the outdoor area using magnetic wands.The children made exciting discoveries as they tested various objects using curiosity and investigation skills to search for different items to see which ones were magnetic. They found that the gate, climbing frame bars, handles, wheelbarrow and more all were magnetic, and by the end we learnt that wood wasn't a magnetic item.
