Busy builders

This week we have been very busy in our outside area; we have been building dens using cardboard boxes, fabric, large pegs and rope. We had to work as a team and listen to each other to make sure the den didn't fall down. Here's some pictures of our dens.

 We set out a few parts as an invitation to build...

 Then everyone worked as a team to build a really cool den.

The children learned about Shrove Tuesday and ate some pancakes with toppings, yum yum! We read the story Mr Wolf's pancakes and then wrote a shopping list for the ingredients to make pancakes.

The children had fun exploring foam using mark-making tools and their hands.

We were fortunate enough to get some lovely new resources this week; here are some photos of all the fun...

 Wicker balls for treading.

 Counting & sorting trays

 Nesting baskets, bowls with chopsticks and jewels. 

Sand diggers.

We had another use for our cardboard box from the den building on Friday when the heavens opened and the rain came down- the box became umbrellas!

We hope you all have a lovely half term holiday, see you on Monday 23rd Feb!

Perfect pizzas!

We have been very busy this week; we have been learning all about pizza and bread.

We linked our maths activity to pizza, the children built a shape pizza by rolling the dice and adding that many of a certain shape. To extend our more able learners they filled in a chart by writing how many of each shape their pizza had.

 More pizza maths...

 On Tuesday we woke up to snow! The children had fun making a snow man and investigating the snow/ice.

The children learned about colour mixing and how they can make different colours using red, yellow and blue. Look a our lovely colourful pizza plates.

 On Wednesday we took a trip around the world; we tasted breads from many different countries and found them on the globe. We tried American bagels, Indian naan bread, Greek pitta, Mexican tortilla and French baguette.

On  Thursday we made pizzas! We used tortillas as the base, spread on some tomato sauce, sprinkled some cheese and added toppings. Yum yum!

On Friday the children wrote recipes for making a pizza.

The children have been making some fabulous models using mobilo bricks, duplo and magnetic bricks; we set up an area for te children to display their models and label them.

More pics of our fun week...

Next week, the children will be leaning about senses, making pancakes and valentines day.

Provide our school with safe school crossing provision

Some of you may have heard that one of our nursery parents has begun a petition for Southwark council to safeguard our children on their journey into school.

Our school is situated on two very busy roads that are on bus routes and where buses are stationed before starting their route; if you would like to see Southwark council consider the safety of the school's children please sign the petition-

Sign the petition

You can also sign a paper copy that will be at the school office if you prefer.
Thank you for your support.
