What's Growing?

We have been sharing lots of action rhymes about healthy fruit and vegetables recently, so we went to explore our vegetable garden in the school grounds.

There was lots to see and talk about . . .

We created our own verses and actions about how to gather in the crops!

Have you got a favourite fruit or vegetable that you enjoy eating?

The Rhyming Rabbit

As we have had so much fun pretending to be rabbits looking for healthy carrots to eat this week, it seemed an obvious choice to read this story next as our focus book from Julia Donaldson . . .

Counting Carrots!

As well as the delicious apples that we had last week, the children also enjoyed eating some lovely crunchy carrots at snack time.

We have been having fun pretending to be a hungry rabbit eating some of the healthy carrots growing in the ground - and learning a little number rhyme at the same time! 

When there were no carrots left at the end of our rhyme, we went to find some more!

Our apple tree that we created for our display last week is looking good - but we decided it would look even better with some carrots growing close by!

Do you prefer your carrots raw or cooked? 

Have you tried carrot cake as a special treat?

Wellie Wednesday

Today we built shelters in our Forest School area. We worked in teams using sticks, tarpaulin, string and pegs to construct them. We made seats and places to sleep as well as campfires for cooking! We had fun playing in our shelters.

We found lots of ladybirds in our Forest School area today. What mini beasts have you got in your garden?

Star of the Week!

Gracie, Charlie, JJ, Logan and Skylar have all been awarded 'Star of the Week'!

Congratulations and well done to all of you.

The Scarecrow's Wedding

The children have been enjoying participating in the 'Dingle, Dangle Scarecrow' action rhyme so we thought we would introduce them to this next Julia Donaldson book . . .

Autumn Apples!

As so many of the children had enjoyed eating apples as part of their snack last week, we decided to focus on them during our adult-led activities this week!

'On the Farmer's Apple Tree' was a great number rhyme to start with!

We went for a walk on our school field to look at our own apple trees that are growing . . . 

We found two lovely apples!

It was fun doing some bark rubbings - can you see the pattern of the tree trunk beginning to appear? We have used our bark rubbings to create our own apple tree for our display!

We used some apples to print with too - how many can you see?

Afterwards, we shared some delicious apples to eat!

Have you got any apple trees growing in your garden?
