Happy New Year to you all. We hope you had a good break. This term our topic is 'Let's Explore the World Around Us'. We will be taking a local walk, looking at the changes in the seasons and exploring space too!
This week we visited our wildlife garden to look at the signs of winter. Our pond was frozen and we had to break the ice with a rake.
The children enjoyed knocking out the seeds from pomegranates today. They had to use a lot of force but managed very well. We served the pomegranate seeds with greek yoghurt for a healthy dessert!
My Family
“A ‘loose parts’ toy, is open-ended; children may use it in many ways and combine with other loose-parts through imagination and creativity. Nature, which excites all the senses, remains the richest source of loose parts.”
The children have used the natural materials to create members of their family.
All About Me is our topic this term. This topic helps the children to develop their confidence and encourages them to share their thoughts. The children explore their dislikes and likes, features and shows them that these differences should be celebrated. It also helps the children to discover their classmates and what makes them unique.
Everyone is special in their own way!
