Singing skills within the group are really starting to shine through and the children have made some great sounds with the Tappy sticks.

Hello Everyone, 

We have had a very busy  week and have had lots of fun learning experiences together. On Monday we had lots of fun creating some Tractor wheel painting creations. On Tuesday we made some cut and stick Tractors which we had to do lots of thinking about shapes and designs. We have been reading the story of the Little Red Hen and discussing what we need to make our own bread. From Wednesday onwards we  made bread in small groups. This was great fun and we learnt lots of new vocabulary and skills. The children recall of what ingredients we have used was amazing. On Friday we talked all about the Harvest festival and all of the events that take place around it. We also watched a CBBC clip about Harvest. We have been feeding and checking on the animals most days. Please see the photos included in this post.

Some pictures from the week...

This week we will be continuing with the Farming fortnight with school. 

We have some more fun activities planned around this theme. Please remember there is an optional dress up day coming up.
