Water play...
Under the sea, talking about different animals, plants and shells and seeing which ones float and sink.

We are learning about jungle animals. We have got sound tins that have jungle noises, and we pretended that we were camping in the Amazon.
We had a visit from Hendrix the pony today. He was a bit dirty from the wet weather so we learnt how to groom him. As we did such a good job, he let us have a little ride on him too.
Lots of cutting experiences to develop our hand muscles.
We used loose parts to create an enchanted forest. We had to be really careful and make all the parts balance. We did it really slowly too, so we didn't knock them over.
We extended our own play by drawing around the numicon and counting the holes. We asked Mrs B to write the numbers and some of us liked counting all the holes to see how many we had drawn altogether.
We love the cold days as we get to play with ice in our garden. Miss H set up some penguins yesterday so we could rescue them from the today.
Today we were talking about firefighters and this led to talking about looking after each other and being kind. We have made a big class heart. So, when other people do kind things for us, we are going to share with our class and put a sticker on the heart.
We explored the sensory box and thought of lots of words to describe what the objects looked like, how they felt, and smelt.
We made our tree shapes out of play dough, then decorated them with loose parts, we took them apart and kept making new designs. Lots of chatter about what bits we were using, the colours, patterns and how many of each we could use to be 'fair'.
Gloopy, sticky, messy, creamy, gluey, slimy and wet, just some of the language we used to describe the white slime we made this morning.
Rather than throwing balls at our towers, we helped to make our own wrecking ball. We watched a real wrecking ball demolition. We made our own buildings and knocked them down.
