Our recycling champs love taking classroom waste to the 'big bins' in the store room before everything is collected to go to the borough recycling centre.
"I'm a superhero. I'm saving the planet"
"This is recycling. It go in the big bin"
"Let's carry it together"
"Bye rubbish"
"I'm recycling"

The children explored seasonal resources at carpet time. Some had to be handled carefully as they were a bit prickly!
"It's a bit hairy"
"It spiked me"
"It's autumn"
"Me want acorn"
"Squirrels eat acorns"
" I like pumpkin. I wanna take it my house"
"I take the conker out of the shell for you"

Following on from our learning on World Afro Day, one of the children brought in her wash day crown. We read'Ada's Wash Day' and talked about similarities.
"Why is she crying?"
"I go on my tablet when I get my hair done"
"This is my crown"
"I got a brush like that"
"Aunty Angel braids my hair"

The children were fascinated to watch tree surgeons trim two big olive trees outside the Nursery. It was a great opportunity to chat & introduce lots of new vocabulary: motor, engine, strimmer, chipper, helmet, visor, ear defenders, shovel, canopy, pruning.
"What you doing, bro?"
"Why he up there?"

The Grove celebrated World Afro Day today. Parents came in to share how they take care of their children's hair - showing tools and products. Our staff talked about their hair too. One of our team, whose child attends our setting, showed the chn how she styles her daughter's hair after wash day 🧵

The children entered a competition to name one of Veoila's new vehicles that will collect waste food (to be recycled) from homes in the borough of Southwark. The children worked together to think of names and then they voted on the one they liked the best.

More children visited the rescue hens at Glengall Wharf Gardens. They fed the hens (seeds and kale), they held the hens gently and they searched for eggs in the coops. They also collected fallen, ripe fruit (apricots and greengages) from the orchard to feed to the hens. Such a rich experience 💛

The chn were thirsty this morning whilst playing in the garden. They picked some lemon mint from the garden to add to the jug of water. It soon turned into role play, with the children setting up a 'lemonade stall' and pouring drinks for each other. A sign was written that said "Have some water"

"Don't pick that one. It's not red yet"
