A few snaps from our Halloween games and disco!
Thank you for all the costumes, the children looked fabulous and had the best time dancing, signing and using their amazing imaginations to get into character! We had a blast playing lots of party games at the disco and topped the day off with a delicious hot chocolate treat!
Happy Halloween!!!!
“Roll up, Roll up!”
What great fun Foundation Stage had at their very own ‘Hull Fair Day!’
We have used our imaginations to make our very own rollercoaster rides, using tunnels, materials, chalk and the bikes! We rode the ghost train, the helter skelter, the mouse trap and went on a very high rollercoaster altogether in class! This was lots of fun as we swayed left and right, backward and forward! We had a magical time bringing the experience of the fair to us and made our very own yummy chocolate apples as a treat too! We created mini fairground rides out of junk modelling, played ‘huck a duck‘ in the water, won prizes on ‘tin can alley’ and tried our hand at ‘coit throwing‘ on one of the fair stalls! The children loved drawing posters of the fair and exploring the fairground happy land! Another ‘BEST DAY EVER‘ in the dairy for Foundation stage!
We had fun trying to make objects move without touching them!

As part of our Hull Fair Day the children in FS all made a chocolate apple.
Lots of the children knew that we would have to melt the chocolate so that we could dip the apples into it. They also remembered that it would have to be warm in order to melt so we might have to put it in the microwave or “cook it”. It took a little more thought to work out what would happen to the chocolate once it had cooled down but we got there in the end.
Everyone really enjoyed making them and they definitely enjoyed EATING them!
The children have worked really hard today to identify circles, put them in order of size and follow instructions. It was great fun making bear faces out of biscuits, chocolate buttons and chocolate chips, stuck together with icing. As Rory said, “You can’t eat glue!”
After all the biscuits were made, we then practised drawing circles and drew our own bear faces. Everyone worked so hard. Well done!
A lovely (wet!) afternoon getting our fingers messy and muddy!
The children had great fun in the mud kitchen this afternoon and enjoyed making “pizza bases!” They sculpted the perfect circle shapes with their hands and added different toppings! Some of the children have even started mentioning the big C word, and were very busy mixing and baking a delightful Christmas cake!!!
A wonderful example of fabulous imaginative play and teamwork!
When the children came back from dinner they were very shocked to find their classroom in a state!
Somebody had sneaked into the classroom whilst they were out and made a terrible mess! Porridge everywhere, a broken chair, spoons and bowls on the floor! Mrs Buss had taped the area up and declared it an ‘investigation!’ None of the children owned up to making such a mess but they had some ideas of who it could have been!
After reading this weeks story they suspected that the culprit could have been none other than Goldilocks herself and decided they needed to find her so that she could say sorry and tidy up the mess! The children made some fantastic wanted posters to put up around the classroom and went on a very exciting hunt to find the golden girl! They spotted lots of clues and a very identical suspect walking past our school gates….
A lovely activity exploring the story of ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’ working on communication and language through paired talk and discussion and fine motor skills!
Thank you to those who were able to attend the F1 Stay & Play this afternoon.
The children loved showing you all that we do in the unit.
Click on the link below to see how the children created fantastic pictures of bears, firstly painting the circular shapes for the face and ears, then, once it was dried, adding details in black pen.
Usually on a Tuesday the children all have the opportunity to butter a slice of toast at snack time. They work hard, trying to spread the butter, developing their fine motor skills. Who would have thought that eating toast could help you learn to write!
