Nursery - World Book Day! Creating A Mr Potato Head - Literacy
For world book day this year the children were tasked with decorating a potato! In Nursery class we made Mr Potato heads using different facial features and accessories. The children used their knowledge of facial proportions to select and place the correct features on their potatoes. They then chose from a variety of accessories, shoes, bags, hats etc. The children did a fabulous job and their potatoes turned out amazing! Well done everyone, what a great way to celebrate world book day.
Reception’s Exciting World Book Day Celebration!
Reception had a fantastic time celebrating World Book Day this year! Our chosen story was Supertato, and the children were absolutely thrilled by the adventures of Evil Pea and his mischievous antics. In the afternoon, they got creative by decorating their own potatoes to represent their favorite characters from the story. To end the day, we visited the library to swap our books and enjoyed sharing the Supertato story with our grown-ups. It was a wonderful day full of fun, creativity, and a love for reading!
Year 1 - World Book Day - Decorating A Potato As Our Favourite Book Character
Year 1 enjoyed decorating their potatoes as their favourite story characters on World Book Day. What a creative class!
Reception - Colour Mixing
Today, the children continued their exploration of colour mixing, incorporating a bit of science into their learning. They used spray bottles filled with water to spray onto tissue paper, observing how the water caused the colours to run and blend. As the colours transferred onto the plain paper underneath, the children were fascinated by the patterns and mixes that appeared. Throughout the activity, the children engaged in discussions about the different colours they could see and how they changed when mixed together. They expressed excitement and curiosity as they observed the effects of the water on the tissue paper. Many children took pride in their artwork, eagerly sharing their creations with others. This hands-on experience encouraged creativity, scientific thinking, and exploration of colour mixing in an engaging and interactive way.
Nursery - R.E - Shrove Tuesday
To celebrate shrove Tuesday, Nursery class accessed the craft table to decorate their pancakes, the children utilised the different toppings and chose which ones they wanted to decorate their pancakes with. The children were encouraged to name each topping as they placed them onto their pancakes. We then sat down together at snack time to enjoy some yummy pancakes! The children chose their own sauces and fruit that they would like to eat and wrapped it all up into a yummy pancake roll! Nursery class enjoyed tasting their pancakes.
