This afternoon we had several Autumnal activities where we explored pumpkins, made fairy stick wands and tasted yummy hot chocolate!

The children loved exploring inside a pumpkin and discovering lots of seeds and sticky squishy pumpkin mash! This was a great sensory experience and we enjoyed using our fine motor skills to scoop out the pumpkin contents and explore our senses of touch and smell!

In our outdoor forest school we joined some children in Foundation Stage to make and decorate some stick wands! This was lots of fun and got our fingers moving-wrapping and threading ribbon and bits of Autumnal foliage!

We enjoyed chatting to new friends over a hot chocolate and exploring the great outdoors, practicing our balancing skills on the logs and attempting to do this independently!

A lovely afternoon in our forest school garden where the children definitely seem their happiest!
