We enjoyed using a potato to make poppies for our remembrance garden.
After watching the fireworks at the weekend we made fantastic firework pictures.
We acted out our story 'The Enormous Turnip'
We talked about Diwali and how people celebrated it, we then made our own diva lamp and had a go at Rangoli patterns.
We have looked at lots of different vegetables, we have drawn them, made playdough vegetables and we have made pictures using them.
Once we had finished using our vegetable we made soup for our snack time.
How we made our soup.
Term 1 - This term our topic is prepostions. Our first book is 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt' by Michael Rosen.
Today was our Growth Day. We have been very busy, first we talked about autumn vegetable especially pumpkins, we felt and smelt them, then we drew them. Mrs Shelton cut one and we talked about saving the seeds to plant in the spring. We then tided our allotment and saw some pumpkins growing, we cleared the weeds ready to plant seeds in the spring. We then had a ball skills lesson in the hall with Miss Bracken, we played games and learnt how to use a ball. We then had a story about Jack and the Beanstalk which was about Jack growing a giant beanstalk. During our maths we learnt that numbers get bigger as you count so we grew to the number 10. To end our day we did some mindful stretching to relax and get ready to go home.
