The Gruffalo

Some of the children recognised this story as soon as they saw the front cover!

We knew it would be a very popular choice and a lovely book to share as we continue our focus on Julia Donaldson.

Happy Diwali!

Do you like our traditional Indian clothing?

We have been finding out about Diwali, the festival of lights.

This is one of the most important festivals in the Hindu religious calendar and marks the end of the Hindu year.

It was fun creating our Rangoli patterns using the computer!

Mehndi is made from herbs and is used to draw patterns on the skin. We selected from a range of paint, pens and crayons to design our own mehndi patterns!

We also used the computer . . .

This little song will tell you more about Diwali - we hope you enjoy it!

Shape Dinosaurs!

We have been matching shapes on top of our dinosaur pictures this week!

Which shapes do you recognise? 

Can you describe some of their properties?

Which shape has got three sides 

and three corners?

How many sides has the hexagon got?

Have a go at creating your own shape dinosaur, which shapes will you use? 

We would love to see them!

Dinosaur Eggs!

Something very exciting happened in our Nursery this week - we found some 

dinosaur eggs!

This is how some of the children described what they found and predicted what they thought would happen . . . 

Olivia - "I can see bubbles. It's cold and it's ice. There's a dinosaur. And it's melting!" (the egg)

Christopher - "It's a green crocodile with a spiky tail. It's ice and hard. It's slippery and cold and freezing. It's making me cold!"

  Alfie T - "It's going to crack - because the dinosaurs got teeth. It will bite, it will make a big hole. Look at it's waggly tail!"

Georgia - "It will crack and the dinosaur will come out. The ice will be gone into water."

We kept a close eye on what was happening throughout the day . . . 

Sophie - "It hatched and there's a dinosaur in the water. And a little ice."

Lucas - "The egg is actually hatching now and the dinosaur has come out. He's in the water. 

It's ice and it's melted cause the dinosaur 

hatched out."

What would you do if you found a dinosaur egg in your house?

Let us know!

Dinosaur Swamp Soup!

We have been very busy at Forest School, using our mud kitchen to make swamp soup, mud pies and rock cakes for dinosaurs. We used various ingredients: leaves ,sticks, seeds, stones,water, soil and conkers!

In the afternoon it poured down with rain. This did not deter us though and we had great fun jumping in the muddy puddles!
