We learned about children’s rights and explored what international aid means. We discussed how organisations work together to lend a helping had. We drew pictures showing things they could give or do to help people in less economically developed countries and communities in need of support💛🌍

Today we created beautiful Bonfire pictures using salt art! We sprinkled salt onto our designs and added watercolour paints to bring them to life, the colours spread through the salt and looked just like fireworks in the night sky🎆🎇

Today we explored measurement by making playdough! 🎨👩🍳 We measured full and half cups to get the mix just right 🥣 Then we discussed how to fix it if it was too sticky or if we’d added too much flour, great problem-solving💡

We have been learning about the Zones of Regulation. 🌱 Today we explored the Green Zone- when we feel calm, happy & ready to learn. We shared ideas that help us stay there & started making our own Zones of Regulation charts to track our feelings. 💚

“I wonder what the white lines in the sky are after a plane has flown past”🤔💭 After spotting a plane in the sky during playtime, we became curious about the lines it left behind. We were amazed to find out they’re called contrails — and we wanted to create our own! ✈️☁️

We’ve developed a keen interest in airplanes! We recycled plastic bottles to create the bodies of our planes and used cardboard for the wings. Now, we’re paper-mâchéing them to make them stronger, so we can paint and decorate our creations✈️
