What a lovely bonfire week we have had in the big group. I'm amazed with their knowledge of how to keep safe from the fire works and sparklers and how it can effect the animals in our woodlands. We've been working on our shapes and number recognition this week and will continue to work on these the coming weeks but a great start. They really enjoyed using their fine manipulative skills to create pictures using different equipment and a little visit to park for a Autumn play. Alice

We have explored letters in our names by corn rolling pictures, created some vegetable soup with our chopping and peeling skills and been out exploring the autumn leaves that have changed colour creating crowns and lots more across the week 😁

The big bumble bees have enjoyed exploring Autumn again this week during our focused activities. We have explored repeated patterns using the leaves and apples, explored using short and long language measuring leaves with the mobilo, creating our names in the sand practicing left to right, fine manipulation control with tweezers and conker number ordering and lots more across the week 😁
