Creative – Today we are going to put Maths and English into creating some Fairy Soup. Puck says all his fairy friends are hungry so can we make them something to eat? Get a plastic bowl/container to make this in.

This can be made from anything but fairies like flowers, mud, stones and water in their soup. You may want to add leaves to give it some extra flavour.  Go into your garden and find some ingredients. Don’t forget to mix with a stick!

How many ingredients did you put in your soup? Write a list of the things you put in your soup.

Our new Learning Challenge is Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, How I Wonder What You Are?

The children have been exploring space and space travel. These photos show children role playing Whatever Next!, making rockets with various construction toys and using our deconstructed role play area to go on a space adventure.

We enjoyed performing Wriggly Nativity for our families.

During the Autumn Term the children in Reception learned to tell a story called Owl Babies. Watch the videos!

Well we were so surprised this morning when we found a giant egg in our playground.

The children were full of questions:

• What’s inside it?

• Where did it come from?

• How did it get here?

We noticed some clues. We found two large footprints, blue feathers and a large green leaf. 

The children made some suggestions about what could be in the egg.

“It’s a baby”, “a dinosaur”, “a parrot”, “a dragon”, “an ostrich” etc…

It was still a mystery!

The children decided they would search for more clues all around the playground. We found apples that had been eaten and a branch with no leaves so we believe it is a herbivore. Some children found tracks that looked like they had been made with three claws. 

Everyone drew their ideas on some paper. Some of the children knew about having to keep eggs warm and suggested we bring it inside. They spent this afternoon collecting twigs, leaves and feathers to make a cosy nest.
