Bird watch week has been such a success. The children have really enjoyed making bird food cakes, exploring bird song and getting out to see what birds we could see/hear. I look forward to hearing about what birds they see in their own gardens next week. 🐦🕊️🦆🦉

It's been looking alot like Christmas here for the last two weeks. 🎄🎁 Our little learners have loved all the Christmas curiosities.
We've put photos of our families in the family tree and enjoyed making handmade presents for our loved ones. The lights are a firm favourite and of course the cosy winter hideout⛄❄️

We've had another wonderful few weeks and have been exploring the great outdoors. A sunny morning on the beach, building sandcastles and investigating slippery seaweed.
A lovely Riverside walk. The children loved exploring the stones and after lots of time spent dropping them into the water to hear and watch the splash we moved onto creating stone towers. No trip is complete without a quick stop at the park to use the swings ☺

A small world mini beast set up ready for this morning. Inspired by one of our little learners fascination with a woodlouse they had found under a log. ☺

Little fingers getting stronger and more coordinated. For the finale it became a birthday cake with candles. I just love seeing their imaginations at work.

All set up ready for investigation by the children tomorrow. I've added lots of collected treasures we have found on our walks this week. ☺ ☔🍃

Now the only challenge is to keep my little ones hands off it until the morning 😁.

This little set up has really sparked our little learners imaginations today. Lots of opportunities for developing language and communication.

This weeks playdough invites children to use their all their senses. Our learners loved using the natural resources collected from the garden. The calming beautiful smell filled the house.

October has been such a busy month. We have visited the Church, watched tree planting, been to Rosemoor Gardens and Tamar Otter Park. We also had a super visit to Holsworthy Museum where children took park in creating their own poppies.

We used a book for our invitation to learning today. The children were completely inspired and quickly began to collect items to make a tree skirt. Discussions about leaf size, shape and colouring began and many were categorised using this theme. Until, the wind began to blow... Our leaves! Oh no! We need hold them down... Get more sticks! ☺️
