Investigating Pumpkins…

11th October 2021Gemma Tinker

  • 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!
Class 1 and Class 2 have enjoyed investigating pumpkins in the outdoor area this morning… What a fantastic start to the week… slimy, gooey, hard but smooth, sticky, stringy pumpkins! I wonder where our learning will go?

What do you want to be when you grow up?

30th September 2021Gemma Tinker

This week we have been thinking all about what we want to be when we grow up. We talked lots in our Crew sessions and then all came together to share what we want to be. Our pictures will be displayed proudly in our classroom!

What a busy day…

  • Our curiosity cube had lots of new items this morning…
  • Bumpy but smooth …
  • Designing before creating…
  • What makes me the same…??
  • Designing a flowering garden on the roof of a house…
  • I think there might be some seeds inside…
  • Our new autumn tray… super excited about our new learning.
  • Enjoying the sunshine outside.
  • Can you find me one?
Class 2 have been super busy today … we have searched for “one” … we have made pictures of one. We have investigated in our curiosity cube and have worked in our new autumn tray. We have spent time designing before we build in construction and have enjoyed outdoor too! Wow!

Class 1 and Class 2 outdoor PE

26th September 2021Gemma Tinker

We absolutely loved PE this week – Class 1 and Class 2 joined together and enjoyed different activities at several stations. Egg and spoon races, bean bag throwing, hula hooping, cheerleading, ball skills, jumping through hoops and sack racing. What an exciting morning together.

What a fantastic week in Class 2…

26th September 2021Gemma Tinker

We have had a fantastic week in Class 2, we have absolutely loved investigating in our Autumn Curiosity Cube, filled with conkers, pine cones and a huge sunflower head! Some children have enjoyed using the mirrors to look at their reflections, describing their features and drawing themselves. As always we have been super creative all week!

We have had an amazing week in Class 2…

10th September 2021Gemma Tinker

We have loved getting to know each other a little more this week. We have been thinking lots about how we can Be Kind in our class and what we can do to be a good friend. We have enjoyed working with Class 1 in our shared areas in the sand, water and paint! We have been gardeners, investigators, builders, explorers and many more things this week.
