Autumn 2:

Our topic this half term has been “Winter Wonderland”. We have been learning about animals who live in the cold and had lots of opportunities for sensory play including ice, snow and tasted ice cream and made hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows.  The children also enjoyed a visit to the Snowdome.

We have had lots of different art activities on offer and the children have had the opportunity to decorate biscuits, taste different fruits and vegetables and made their own sandwiches during our cookery sessions.

Explorer 2 have again enjoyed weekly sessions at forest school exploring mud, water and more recently making Christmas decorations.

Swimming has been a highlight with all children enjoying lessons in the pool.

Spring 1:

The topic is Circus and in our maths lessons we will be looking at filling and emptying. If anyone has any old floppy hats, oversized shirts, trousers, shoes or wigs please feel free to send them in for our role play Circus area. We are looking forward to learning lots of circus skills and having lots of moments of laughter into next half term.
