Senses week and the children had fun learning about our five senses, smelling different foods and herbs, tasting vegetables, jelly (a big hit!) and even lemon - their faces were a picture! We had lots of instruments out, different textured arts and crafts, Mr potato head game using a spinner to pick the body parts, tracing outlines of objects and finding them around the room, tuff tray fun incorporating textures and smells and even managed to squeeze in lots of outdoor play. Were exhausted! 🤣

What a busy week learning about the world, we’ve made flags, passports, boarding cards and globes. We’ve tasted noodles and pancakes with mango to come tomorrow. We’ve flown to California and Spain from our role play airport and had lots of fun in the garden.

Our community week.
We looked at the buildings around our local area. Made and painted our own builds using junk paints blocks.
They particularly liked the windmill and the Rayleigh town clock.
