This term, we have been learning all about Autumn; making wreaths and glittery play doh. We have explored the school field and collected leaves to make crowns. At snack time, we have been sampling lots of fruits, cereals and breads - very tasty!
During singing, we have had lots of fun with a parachute and singing our favourite songs, including 'Baby Shark' and 'Sleeping Bunnies'.

This week, we helped to raise lots of money for Comic Relief; dressing in red clothes and holding a 30 minute Danceathon!! We then tucked into some tasty treats at snack time and made red nose biscuits. We even had a special visit from PCSO Karen Terry who was very impressed with our 'Baby Shark' dance. The children managed to raise £76.40!! Well done everyone!

We have been really busy this term, learning 'All About Me!'
We have made hand and foot prints and discovered fun things we can use our hands and feet for. We have made play doh faces, painted self portraits, made mirrors and used our senses to discover what we do and don't like! We've also been trying some tasty treats at snack time; toast, cereals and different fruits.
During singing time, we sing our new favourite song 'Baby Shark' and our old favourites; 'Dingle, Dangle Scarecrow' and 'Sleeping Bunnies'.

We have been having lots of fun with our friends; making Easter bunny hats and decorating cardboard Easter eggs with lots of sparkles and making chocolate Rice Krispie cakes, which were so yummy we couldn't resist tasting them! We also tried hot cross buns at snack time. We took part in a hunt for the Easter bunny's footprints and were rewarded at the end with an Easter egg each!

We have been finding out about all things 'Under the Sea', taking part in many activities; making paper plate jelly fish, shiny silver fish, our very own glittery aquarium and singing our favourite songs! At snack time, we made octopuses and fish using pancakes, bananas, raisins and cheerios.
