We love following the children’s interests. Some of the children had noticed the cobwebs covered in dew early this morning. So we went on a spider and cobweb hunt around the garden, which led to so much new language, learning and adventure.

Freddie found two snails outside today. He was very excited to watch them and even collected a magnifying glass so he could get a better look at them.
Other children came to look too but Freddie stayed with the snails until they were feeling brave enough to come out of their shells. He watched them crawl away over the mud and up the wooden wall. Freddie thought they were may be going to find some lunch!
We have started painting our bears today. Everyone had to start with a circle shape but they also had to think carefully about what sized circle they needed, depending on whether they were painting Daddy Bear (large), Mummy Bear (medium sized) or Baby Bear (small). Autumn told me her circle was, “large” because she was painting “Daddy Bear”. Well done Autumn!
We have been busy setting up the role play room, small world area and special story seat ready for our new text next week. Can you guess the story?
The wet weather never stops F1 from having fun! Yesterday, Florence started her own game, rolling a tyre to see how far it would travel. It soon became a very popular game and lots of children joined in. Well done everyone!
In less than a week our radishes have already begun to grow! They are only tiny shoots though, with just a tiny root hidden in the soil. We can’t wait for them to grow even more!
We have been practicing our walking, stopping and balancing. As well as our shaking skills!
Our self-portraits have been coming along nicely. The children had a good look at themselves in the mirror first so they could see what their face looked like. Everyone tried really hard to start off with a big circle. Well done everyone!
Today F1 have done their first little bit of planting. The afternoon children carefully sprinkled radish seeds in a long line. We then covered them back up so the birds don’t eat them before they can grow. Let’s hope we have a nice crop very soon.
We used mirrors to explore the shapes of the features of our faces. Then drew our self portraits. These are proudly hanging in the gallery in the classroom.
