Today in Forest School the children made hot chocolate, climbed our ‘climbing tree’ and dug for treasure – which is still work in progress, I believe! 😉

The children loved mud painting at Forest School today, they painted Christmas baubles then added glitter and stars.

We have had an extremely busy week practising for our Christmas performance, crafting and creating. The children are all stars 🌟

This week, the children have enjoyed our maths activities, they liked matching the small world animals to their picture and using the cubes and numicon to make number blocks to 5. During adult led activities we have introduced number 5.

Our fine motor activity was really popular, using a variety of phones the children loved calling their friends / favourite tv characters and role playing together, calling one another! They had fun pressing the small buttons, dialling the numbers on the cards. This was good for number recognition too.

On Friday, the children made pizzas. They weighed the ingredients, measured the oil, milk and water then mixed, kneaded and rolled the dough. The children added toppings to their pizzas and took them to Claire, our amazing cook, who popped them in the oven.
