We had a fabulous time on Shrove Tuesday in EYFS … we mixed pancakes, we investigated the ingredients needed to make pancakes, we ate pancakes and we had a pancake race on the big field.
Pancake Day…

We’re going on a windmill hunt…
Today we decided we wanted to find the windmill that Class 1 had told us all about. We thought about our core text this week – Hansel and Gretel and realised that we could make a trail whilst we hunted for the windmill. It was cold, but we wrapped up well and set about finding the windmill. We had so much fun and cannot wait for our next adventure!
Today we wanted to be just like Hansel and Gretel… 
We looked at different things that we could leave just like Hansel so that we didn’t get lost… 
We thought brightly wrapped chocolates would make a fantastic trail… 
We all got a chocolate… 
We thought about which way we would walk… 
And discussed who would go first! 
We were searching for a windmill… 
We began to lay our trail… 
We followed as each person placed their wrapped chocolate down… 
Up a hill… 
All the way to the top.. 
We looked all around us … until… 
We found it! In the distance – a windmill. 
We followed our trail all the way back to the playground, collecting a chocolate each as we went!
Celebrating Chinese New Year…
After a week of exploring and investigating in our Curiosity Cube we are finally celebrating all things Chinese New Year!
Remembrance Day in EYFS
In EYFS today we have been learning about Remembrance Day, we have been thinking about the brave soldiers who protect our country to keep us all safe. We have printed poppies, made edible poppy biscuits and delivered them as a random act of kindness to all of the grown ups in school who help keep us safe everyday. We also surprised the staff at the Junior School with a biscuit too! We have coloured poppies, drawn our own poppies and even attempted to write the sounds we hear in words.
Outdoor Learning
Our first week back…
Spooky Cosmic Yoga fun… 
We love copying the skeleton dance! 
Spider pose! 
Learning all about 3 and drawing triangles. 
Adding 3 spooky ingredients to a spell! 
Retelling The Gruffalo… 
How sneaky these two letters make one sound!
We have had such a great first few days back after our half term break. We have had a fabulous few spooky days, a Halloween disco, a new spooky Maths area to create spells – we needed to count ingredients into little cauldrons! We have enjoyed reading Room On The Broom and The Gruffalo!
Class Two are so Kind
Our day was brightened in Class Five today as we received a special delivery of crispy buns just to brighten our day from our friends in class two. What a kind thing to do – they were delicious! You must have worked so hard making them, we really appreciate your random act of kindness.
Little Artists in the making…..
We looked at the large tree in our garden area. We noticed that the leaves are still green and are all still on the tree. We wonder what it will look like when we come back to school after the half term break?
We created pictures which were inspired by the artist Guiseppe Archimboldo:
We are going to sketch our work next…..we look forward to seeing what they look like when they are complete.
Investigating Pumpkins…
How can we open them? Shall we smash them? 
So many seeds… 
I’m strong enough to open it… 
It’s heavy… 
Nearly inside both now! 
Yes we did it! Look at all of the seeds! 
It’s yucky … but I want another go! 
I’m not sure whether I like it … but I love investigating! 
Seeds… there are LOADS! 
This one is slimy… 
Wow! Can I have a turn? 
It’s heavy … and it smells funny! 
I am sooooo strong! 
No seeds left in this bit! 
It smells funny … and it feels a bit funny too! 
I like this … I like seeing inside! 
Counting… 
Can I play here all day – I love investigating pumpkins! 
Digging deep to pull out the stringy bits! 
I emptied it!
