This morning the EYFS shared a very special treat by joining author Nick Sharrat in a Zoom call to listen to his brand new book Oh No! Shark in the Snow!
We were the very first audience to hear Nick Sharratt read this funny, festive tale, and discover all the amazing things about his Shark in the Park series. He also gave use a mini lesson in illustrating.
We loved it!
Nursery had a great time getting creative and preparing for Christmas!
EYFS staff and children couldn’t believe their eyes this morning. The classrooms had been transformed into Christmas Wonderlands! Nobody knew who had worked their magic until Mr. Payne checked the CCTV.
To celebrate World Kindness Day, the EYFS children wanted to spread some smiles and happiness around the world. We drew some happy faces and hid them around the school for people to find and spread the joy.
We also drew an extra face to take home with us and leave somewhere to see how far our smiles can spread. If you find one of our smiles, please pass it on by putting somewhere new for other to join in. The last time we tried this our smiles spread all the way to Australia, Italy and Spain! Let’s see how far they go this time!!! 😊
The Foundation Stage Staff were very impressed with how respectful the children were when learning about Remembrance Day.
Here are pictures of some of the activities we took part in to mark the occasion.
EYFS have been celebrating Diwali! We’ve made lanterns, diya lamps and created our own mehndi patterns too!
We loved learning about the festival of light.
We have had a brilliant week creating spooky mummies, exploring our amazing pumpkins and making spooky spells!
This morning, the EYFS children had a fantastic time completing our sponsored toddle to Cornthwaite Park. The staff were very proud of how sensible the children were! We loved spotting all local sights and seeing signs and numbers all around us 😊
I think there will be lots of sleepy heads tonight!
In Nursery, one of our favourite activities is “Squiggle While You Wiggle”.
Squiggle While You Wiggle is a kinaesthetic approach to stimulate early writing. Children use movement with music to develop their motor skills in preparation for writing.
Check out our latest spooky squiggle where we use lines and circles to make skeletons. It was so much fun some children wanted to do it twice!
This week we are learning about Harvest in EYFS. As part of our topic, we have been baking bread. We looked at the ingredients together and talked about the equipment that we needed. The best part was definitely tasting it!
