We found a butterfly today in the school hallway. We rescued it. Once we had a look at it we let it go out in our garden. #antosocialstudies#antocuriosity
A small group of children explored feelings and emotions through STEM. The activity encouraged self-awareness and emotional literacy in a fun and engaging way. “ I feel happy when I get cuddles from AM” All children who choose to explore were confident at talking in small group gathering.
Some children were engaging in block play by creating boats, campfires, and houses demonstrating rich imagination and creativity. Such high levels of engagement as they used the blocks to aid their imaginative role play.
Thankyou to our families who joined us today for the MacMillan coffee morning❤️ raising money for such a good cause and spending valuable time with our loved ones! We appreciate all the baking and donations so much!
Our children have been so interested in numeracy, staff prepared a sorting and counting autumn activity. Our children showed amazing counting as they used a one to one correspondence to count the acorns! “ that’s 8” such confident individuals! 🌿
Staff followed children’s interests forward as F showed engagement in discussions around superhero’s. We explored Technology as we made our own superhero’s from salt dough! “ it’s made it hard”
Autumn animals are a topic of conversation within our playroom today. In the art area children have been making their own hedgehogs. Great awareness of shape, size and colour through being creative 🥰
We have noticed the change in weather and have had lots of chats around autumn. Our children created their very own autumn pictures today and shared there thoughts on autumn. “The leaves fall off the trees 🌲 “ “Animals get lots of food and hide it for when it’s cold” Great prior knowledge! 🍁🦔
We are curious about foods we eat and today we have played a match and sort game to dofferentiate between fruits, vegetables, meat and fish! Lots of amazing prior knowledge 👏
Lots of mark making outdoors. Amazing representation within drawings and amazing conversations as the children share their thoughts, feelings and ideas! 😍
C was so excited to share that he went to the stock car racing at the weekend. We continued this interest through junk modelling where he created his own race car and track. He then went to the block area where he created a race track 🏎️ 🏁🏎️ amazing creativity and imagination.
