Week 4 - Wednesday 11th October
Apples, paint and patterns!
This week we read A New House for Mouse, where a little mouse tried to find a home that was a perfect fit for him and his large apple.
The Bog Baby brought us a special picture called a diagram which showed us what the different parts of an apple were called. We cut into apples and explored the different parts for ourselves.
We looked at the different colours that we could see on the apple skin and used prime colours to create different colours that we could use to print repeating apple patterns.
Some children explored the outside area for homes for our very own little mouse.
The children thought they'd found a watermelon growing in the garden today but discovered it's a baby pumpkin! I wonder if it will be ready for Halloween?
Our afternoon finished with a tasty treat of apples!
Week 5 - Wednesday 18th October
Webs, wool and whirling leaves
This week we read Arghhhh! Spider about a spider who just wanted to be a perfect pet.
We searched in the Secret Garden for the Bog Baby who brought us some facts about spiders and some detailed photos.
We made our own giant woolly spider webs by using our throwing and catching skills and using our friend’s names!
We used magnifying glasses to search for webs and spiders around the forest and found some other interesting minibeasts too.
