Teamwork!

This week the children have been working together to achieve great feats as you can see! They managed very well to organise lifting logs and branches in the park on one of our daily outings., and were suitably proud how strong they were together! The children have been doing some bark rubbings and writing the letter "S" as the sound of week. The children then had a look around the park to see what objects they could find that start with that letter. Isla started to laugh and said "I see Sami". Thomas became very excited when he saw some sticks on the ground. He picked some up and began to wave them around in excitement.

Back at nursery they explored various vegetables and what types of seeds they may have inside. As Douglas cut open a pepper he said "You can eat seeds. They have to be special seeds like sunflowers". Eve became very intrigued with the conversation wondered over and said "What are seeds?" and Freddie opened his hand to show her. This prompted various conversations from what other types of vegetables may have seeds inside and where they grow. Damon announced "You can plant seeds and they grow into pumpkins and ginormous trees. Did you know peppers are chewy and hard?" Molly pointed out that they needed water, whilst Roma spoke about the sun and how it helps them grow.

This week the babies have been exploring the cold weather and frost using bubbles. The bubbles became stuck to the frosty grass and tree making Lyra laugh, and Freddie and Lyra began to blow the bubbles making a big ball on the ground. As they blew it it bounced up and down in the frost before finally popping making the two giggle and say 'Pop!’ Jasper and Owen explored the leaves, collecting some leaves to bring back to nursery. Jasper was so excited and tilted the bucket full of leaves over his head, and sat laughing after looking a bit shocked and all of his friends joined in laughing as well as throwing leaves into the air and watched them fall back down again. Back at nursery Lyra and Zayne used animals to break up some Weetabix and mix it with flour, and Zayne dropped the animals into the mix and began to hide them, Lyra and Zayne both searched for the animals laughing with everyone they found, Lyra said 'Moo' for every animal. Oliver and Abigail made cakes, using flour, custard and oats they mixed it all together to make a gooey, textures mess before filling it in to cupcake pan. Oliver tried to eat some of the custard but before he could Abigail took the dirty utensils away to wash them in the toy sink, whilst she was washing she made a splash in the floor and said 'uh-oh'.
