We have been baking in Nursery. Inspired by reading The Gingerbread Man and The Little Red Hen, we have baked our own loaf of bread and baked and decorated our Gingerbread Men. The children enjoyed weighing and measuring the ingredients, mixing them together and waiting for the finished products. The children took their Gingerbread men home with them and enjoyed a slice of bread with butter and jam for their snack.
The children in Nursery planted their own bean seeds. They watered them carefully and are looking forward to watching them grow over the coming weeks.
In Nursery we have been reading Goldilocks and the Three Bears and decided to make some porridge. The children weighed the oats and measured the milk before mixing them together and waiting for it to heat up. The children enjoyed tasting their porridge, with some of them coming back for seconds!
The Nursery children went to visit the chicks in Reception. All ten have hatched and they were lucky enough to hold and stroke one as well as see them in the incubator.
Nursery had another busy week last week. We are enjoying our new outdoor area and have had lots to look at and explore in the classroom.
Nursery have been enjoying playing some instruments this week and listening to their friends’ music.
Nursery have been using mirrors to see what colour eyes and hair they have before completing their amazing self-portraits.
Nursery have been busy getting the classroom ready for Christmas.
A big thank you to Mrs Singleton for kindly arranged with Longwater Aldi for EYFS to have some pumpkins. We have been exploring the pumpkins all week, scraping out the middles for the seeds, making potions and carving some too!
This year Nursery and Reception took part in the Barnardo’s ‘Big Toddle’. Children and their grown-ups dressed up in Safari themed costumes and took part in different jungle themed activities. We raised £185 for the charity- so well done everyone!
