We have a sensory tray full of Christmas decorations, the children have really enjoyed rooting through the tray and linking it to their own decorations at home! 

The children have thoroughly enjoyed having Jake from Fleetwood Town FC in to teach them multi skills in PE. 

The children in reception have been working together to create a Little Red Riding Hood jigsaw after reading and re-writing the fairytale. 

Some children in reception decided to go into the maths area and complete the challenge! Bella has been using compare bears to figure out the answer to half of ten. Bella split the compare bears equally between herself and Mrs Green and discovered that half of ten is 5.  Fantastic maths work going…

We have been learning how fractions are part of a whole, and a fraction is something split into equal parts. We have also been using the vocabulary numerator and denominator. The children have been using salt dough and 2D shapes to create halves and quarters. 

We have been frantically digging for dinosaur findings in our sensory garden. The children hae absolutely loved their first day as a dinosaur detective! 'Miss Moore quick we have found three dinosaur teeth in the snesory garden and some baby eggs!'

Today I introduced our new topic to the children, DINOSAURS! They absolutely loved creating a jurassic park using the small world dinosaurs, rocks and trees! They even put a volcano in the middle of the land. 

The children worked really hard in a team to create a 'train trap', they worked together to lift the different objects and designed a fantastic creation!

The children have really enjoyed using all of the areas outside today. We have a new sand shed, the children have produced some fantastic collaborative play in the sand. 

We have a new, natural water area. We have been using measuring jugs to pour water through the water channels. 

We have been using tweezers to find spiders buried in our spooky grey spaghetti. How many spiders can you find?

We have been in our new fairy garden today, once our fairy garden grass is short enough we will be transferring the resources into the grass area!
