This week the children had a wonderful time exploring our Gingerbread Men theme through a range of hands-on activities.

We began by making gingerbread playdough, carefully mixing and kneading the ingredients. The children enjoyed feeling the different textures and smelling the spices.

Next, we took part in a gingerbread men taste test! The children were excited to try the gingerbread, talking about the flavours and whether they liked it or not.

Finally, the children created their own gingerbread men arts and crafts, choosing colours and decorations independently. They showed fantastic creativity and concentration while expressing their own ideas.

We have had a truly magical final week of term filled with lots of festive fun and excitement!

We treated ourselves to hot chocolate and biscuits, which the children loved. Throughout the week, the children took part in lots of Christmas craft activities, exploring their creativity as they made twinkling snowflakes and melted snowmen. There was a wonderful buzz of excitement as we talked about Christmas.

It has been a lovely week full of smiles, creativity, and festive cheer, and a perfect way to end the term. We wish all our families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

This week we introduced our exciting new topic — Celebrations! The children explored a range of materials linked to different celebrations, such as birthdays, Diwali, Christmas, Eid, Hanukkah and birthdays. We had a lovely group discussion about the special celebrations we enjoy with our families, such as birthdays, weddings, and religious festivals. The children shared their own experiences — from blowing out candles and wearing party clothes, to enjoying special foods and spending time with loved ones.

The children went on an autumn walk, looking carefully at the changes happening in our environment. We collected lots of autumn treasures along the way — shiny conkers, crunchy leaves, and interesting sticks. The children were so excited to spot all the different shapes, sizes and colours around them! When we returned, we used our collections to create our very own Autumn Investigation Station .

This week we’ve been celebrating Bonfire Night with lots of exciting, creative and hands-on learning experiences! The children explored firework art using toilet roll tubes cut into shapes to print colourful explosions across the page — they loved seeing how the paint spread and mixed to make bright, sparkly patterns in the sky!
