We enjoyed using the sense of touch to see what was in the feely bag.

We used some great describing words!

Today we have been reading Funnybones and learning about skeletons. We then learnt different body parts and brought our skeletons to life.  

We used our sense of sight to look at our features e.g our skin colour, our eye colour and hair colour. We are all unique!

We enjoyed using the sense of smell to try and work out what was in the pots. 
We also discussed whether we like the smell. Or we don’t like the smell. 

This week we have been hearing about Harvest time. We now know that farmers grow food for us to eat and England is too cold to grow bananas. We picked our own tomatoes for snack time.

We have enjoyed learning outdoors this half term. We went on a listening walk to see what sounds we could hear. 

This week we have been in an adventure to look for clues to help us workout which season it is at the moment. We found lots of exciting things to help us work it out .

This week we have talked about our bodies. The children are very interested in what is inside their bodies so we read “Funnybones” and tried to feel our bones through our skin.

We had a lovely afternoon, we said goodbye to our butterflies and set the, free into the wild.  We have been able to watch each stage of their life cycle and set them free into their natural habitat . But they didn’t want to leave us, they landed on our hands.

Today we had a special delivery arrive, some magic beans with a letter from Jack. He told us what plants need to help them grow. We have planted them and we can’t wait to watch them grow. 

Some year 5 and 6 children who spent time earlier in the year growing their own vegetables have been able to use our brand new kitchen to cook different healthy meals. These include flatbread with pea and mint dip, healthy pot noodles, potato cakes, garlic bread and even chocolate and beetroot…

In nursery this half term we are learning about growing. We will talk about plants as well as how animals and birds change as they grow.
