Story maps were made by exploring textures to create the events of the story. The children worked so hard to think of the sequence of the story without looking at the book. They also made their very own Bear Hunt books by looking at the pictures and sequencing them into the correct order as well as making binoculars to go on their very own bear hunt! As you can see from the display, they have worked so hard and produced some amazing work. 

 

There were some fabulous spreading skills to make delicious bear sandwiches using jam, sticky honey and soft cheese - the children loved nibbling on the spare crusts after their snacks! 

 

When the children drew bear pictures in their Special Books they all loved finding the picture of the bear and talking about the shiny nose, big furry ears and the googly eyes. There was lots of chatter about feeling scared of the bear and also thinking about how the bear was feeling at the end of the story with us all agreeing he wants us to be his friend.

 

The Bee Bots visited us from Form 2 and there was lots of laughter as the children programmed in movements for them by pressing the arrows and the green go button and also made caves for the bee Bots with wooden bricks.

 

In the garden there have been the Nursery firefighters working hard to put out the fires. It was brilliant to see the children working together in a team just like real firefighters!

 

We also found some huge autumn leaves which the wind has blown down - we will be making our own autumn tree very soon! We have been busy planting herbs and spring bulbs in our planter. The children enjoyed smelling the different herbs and guessing what the flowers will be in the spring.

 

It was lots of fun exploring our new investigating area using natural resources to make fish pasta and pie cake. 

 

The children are singing the Harvest songs with lots of actions and they had a lovely time with Ms Norford, playing loud and quiet sounds with the instruments. We are sure you can guess which was the children's favourite sound!

 

Finally, there were some lovely imaginative games going on from doctors and hospitals to family groups with mummies, daddies, brothers, sisters, babies and a grumpy Gran!

 

We are looking forward to our story of Naughty Bus next week. In particular, we are very excited about our visit to Otford Library on Tuesday.
