Pet shop !

The children visited Squires pet shop to see what different animals they could see. They were particlularly fascinated by the lizards and tortoises. Harry pointed and said "Look, a dinosaur!" The children then noticed to look at the fish. Douglas and William watched closely and looked at the different colours they could see. They then began to name the fish after their friends back at nursery. On the way back to nursery the children visited the park and decided to act out the movements of the animals they had observed.

They have been experimenting with cooking a variety of sweet and savoury dishes. The children helped to make the staff vegetable soup. They spoke about where the vegetables came from, what food they like to eat, and how they grow. Jonah spoke excitedly about the food he likes "Apples and pears are juicy, I think they grow on trees".  Douglas responded " did you know Tescos picks them up" he then started to chuckle. This promoted all of the children to talk about their favourite foods. Eve started to giggle and joined in with the conversation " I like chicken and rice, they are tasty. I"m hungry" Eve then started to rub her tummy. The children also drew pictures of the foods that they like to eat. Scarlett asked her friends if they knew potatoes live in the ground.

The babies have been mark making using crayons, The little ones tapped, and rolled the crayons on to paper and were please with the results. They also had fun exploring water, using their hands, jugs and spoons to empty, pour and fill. Arthur was very interested in pouring it out as fast as he could! Oliver placed his hands in water and began to splash about , until the suds were everywhere, which caused giggles all round.
