Wednesday was our bake off competition. What a lot of entries and judges! Thanks to all the parents who helped in any way.

We had so many cakes we managed two cake sales. Look out for the total raised towards our children’s kitchen. 

We read “The Little Red Hen” and spoke about how she made the bread and the skills needed to do it. We thought we would try it for ourselves. 
We looked at the skills of mixing, kneading and rolling. Our bread tasted so delicious and smelt amazing 

Thank you to another Mummy who came into school today. She told us about her job and how she helped people every day. She discussed how dangerous medicines could be and how we should always ask an adult.

Each week we are going to put on our wellies and go for a walk under the trees. This week we have been exploring. Some children weren’t very keen to walk in the mud. We will be helping each other to make a den next week using our teamwork and super kind hands to share resources.

This year we sprinkled some cake crumbs to attract the birds. We saw two gulls, two crows and one child saw an owl!

We had a lovely visit from a nurse. She told us what nurses do and she even showed us how to put bandages, slings and plasters on. We are now all ready to be nurses in our hospital role play. 

Today, we were set the challenge of creating different rectilinear shapes using 12 matchsticks. We had to make different shapes and then work out the perimeter of each shape.
