The children loved getting their hands busy exploring different shapes, textures, and colors of seasonal produce like squash and potatoes. 🥔 🎃

They practiced their counting and sorting skills by grouping the vegetables, and we shared some wonderful conversations about how plants grow from seeds into food for our tables.

This theme beautifully supported their curiosity about nature, sparked creative language, and encouraged everyone to try new, healthy foods.

The children have loved scooping and pouring, watching the water weave its way down the water pipes like liquid magic.

By gently lifting and tilting the control panel, the children became little engineers, choosing exactly how fast or slow their watery masterpiece flows.

It really was the perfect mix of refreshing sensory fun and early learning today! 💦

Sunflowers. ☀️🌱🌻

To build language and understanding we introduced specific keywords related to both the plant parts and its life cycle.

Petal: The bright yellow, sun-like outer parts.

Seed: The tiny, hard shell you plant in the ground.

Stem: The long, green stalk that holds the flower up.

Leaf: The green, flat parts that help the plant take in sunlight.

Roots: The hidden parts underground that drink water.

The children worked in small groups today with modelling clay.

Using their senses to explore the differing properties of natural pheasant feathers and soft, coloured craft feathers.

Some children even said that the pheasant feathers felt 'stiff' while the pink ones were 'fluffy,' showing a growing vocabulary to describe textures."

Amazing. 🤩

Great team work. Listening to one another and taking turns.

Working together to build structures and manage long runs.

Learning all about, Movement and Speed - Balls roll down the incline due to gravity. The steeper the incline, the faster the balls travel to the bottom and the farther they may roll after exiting the guttering.
