M is for Moon cake

We read a story called “Round as a Moon cake” and learnt a little bit about the Chinese Moon festival celebrated at this time of year. We made our own version of moon cakes by crushing malted milk biscuits and mixing them with cream cheese, we then used the moon cake mould to make pretty moon cakes!

Bee Bot maths

Visit to the church

We visited Hodnet church and looked for the things that showed us it was a special building. We were especially impressed with the stained glass windows.

Summer solstice party

We had a wonderful summer solstice party with pre school. The fairies left us challenges to make a leaf necklace, a hazel crown, music for the party we had a fire and toasted marshmallows. We had a great time!

Who was the culprit?

Today Mandy from the kitchen asked us to help her with a problem! Something had been munching some food from the kitchen, it had eaten through 1 strawberry, 2 radish, 3 tomatoes, 4 slices of cucumber, 5 biscuits, 6 pieces of chocolate and 7 green grapes! We went on a hunt to find the culprit, following the foot prints outside. We then drew pictures of the “suspects” we had found.
