Making chocolate lolly pops

Today we learnt the phoneme ll and so we made chocolate lolly pops. We talked about how the chocolate changed from hard to soft and then hard again so we could eat them. We put sprinkles on the lolly pops and compared the amount of sprinkles on each, linked to our morning maths. We used the stem sentence: ….. has more than…….

Huff and puff

Autumn Equinox Party

The Forest Schools Fairies wrote to us and told us about the Autumn Equinox, they also left us some things to help us celebrate with a party, including a new fire pit. We used our new blending skills to read the word “pit” on the box and then worked out how to put it together. Some children helped Mrs Freeman put the fire pit together. They also left us delicious apple cake to eat at the party, marshmallows to toast on the fire and the things to make leaf crowns from.

Mrs Gregory lit our first forest schools fire and we all learnt how to keep safe around the forest schools fire pit area.

G is for gardening

We prepared the garden for the Spring! We worked as a team to plant wild flower seeds which will hopefully turn the space in our orchard into a wild flower meadow in the Spring and Summer next year. The children looked at the different seeds and compared them before planting them.
