The children enjoyed looking at how the water had changed from a liquid to a solid after it had been frozen. They used lots of words to describe what they saw and how the gloves felt; hard, icy, freezing, cold, slimy, slippery.

Next week our role play is going to be…..a Pizza Parlour 😋

Acorns Christmas Story – Parent Invite PDF

At Forest School, we retold the story of ‘The Gingerbread Man’, the children were all given a character and a part to act out in the story, they loved saying the repeated phrase ‘Run, run as fast as you can, you can’t catch me I’m the Gingerbread Man’.
The children decorated a Gingerbread Man made out of cardboard, using dried leaves and flowers – when the children scrunched up the leaves they listened to the sounds they made, they liked how the leaves felt lightly, crumbling through their fingers.

Miss Merricks did an experiment with the children to give them a better understanding about germs, how to stop them spreading and careful hygiene. The children were fascinated!

We followed this up with a song https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qrOYWiDyov0
