  Homemade snow

  Posted by Mrs L Jesters

  The children wanted a tuff tray full of snow for our Arctic and Antarctica animals. The children took turns to add the ingredients corn flour, flour, baking powder and water. We then left it in the fridge to harden. Once it was ready we collected the animals that live in the snow such as penguins, polar bears, Arctic fox, and owls.

  Bingo

  During carpet time the children took part in a group bingo game. The children sat in small groups and took turns marking off each picture that was called out. The bingo game encouraged children to work together to recongnise images and listen carefully for cues.

  Sorting

  Posted by Mrs L Jesters

  One of our favourite activities this week was our Stick Man size sorting task. The children compared and sorted the Stick man figures into small, medium and large. This helped develop early maths skills such as comparison, language and reasoning.This activity also supported fine motor skills as the children were encouraged to cut around the Stick Man figures themselves.

  Autumn

  We have been talking about Autumn and what happens. Today we noticed some of the leaves on the trees had changed colours. We decided to make our own Autumn leaves using cottons buds with red, yellow, green and orange paint.

  A letter to the zoo

  Posted by Mrs L Jesters

  Today we wrote our own letter to the local zoo to see if they could send us a pet. The children used their pencil skills to create a letter and then chose the animals they wanted to stick on to make sure the zoo knew exactly what pet they would want.
