Growing and Cooking at Molesey!

This week the children have been enjoying the sunshine in our garden and around Imber Court. Whilst the children were out on a walk they saw lots of horses walking past with the police riding them. They waved at the children saying “Good morning” as they went past and the children were all very excited. Amelie said "Look, the horse is dancing!" as the horse moved along. The babies enjoyed looking for ducks on the river and the children all enjoyed a picnic snack.

Toddlers and pre school have been helping plant Courgettes, Tomatoes, Runner beans and sunflower seeds in our growing area. They have been watering the seeds every day using their own watering cans. Sam said "We have to water them so they can grow, but don't water me!" Thomas helped to dig the soil to make a hole for the seeds and noticed "It's a wiggly worm, look it's living in our garden" Thomas then went on to place the seed into the hole he had dug.

They have also been chefs this week and helped to make homemade pizzas for tea. They all mixed the ingredients together to form the dough and used the rolling pin to roll it out. Joshua said "Look, messy" as he carried on rolling. Albie observed that the puree was red. "It's red, that's my favourite colour I have red on my T-shirt". They enjoyed the pizzas at tea time and were very proud to tell everyone they had made them.

Babies have been taking part in sensory bubble play. They smiled and giggled as the bubbles were flying towards them. George was excited, crawling after the bubbles so he could catch them. Harry and Oscar both enjoyed sitting watching the bubbles coming towards them as they were both smiling making excited baby noises. They have also been exploring in the mud kitchen and sandpit.
