A busy few weeks

We have been very busy exploring our 'big school' role play area.

Making musical instruments.

Gardening in our garden centre.

Finding different numbers on the till at the garden centre.

Practicing the egg and spoon race for sports day.

And after all of that hard work we made some bread rolls that didn't quite make it home as they smelt too delicious, so we ate them for our snack.

Den Week

We decided that for Den Day, in aid of Save the Children, we would challenge ourselves to build a den a day! See below for pictures of our fantastic creations! 

We thought about materials and how we could make our dens comfortable.

We also made some Dens at Forest School.

Here we are using our dark den to explore different types of torches.

We made sure that we kept our energy levels up and made some house shaped biscuits to take home with us.

The Beach

On Tuesday the 24th of May 16 Year 6's from Nothrepps Primary gave us a 'Beach Safety' talk. They warned us of hazards on the beach and gave us top tips to keep safe.

And in the afternoon we were invited to Overstrand beach to practice our beach safety alonside Oak class. It was our first time on a minibus.

We explored the beach safely.

And what better way to end a trip to the beach than with an ice cream!

Making Ice Lollies

When it was really warm we decided to make some ice lollies to keep us cool. We made two different flavours apple and grape and strawberry milk. We looked at the instructions pictures on the recipes and followed them.

Taking it in turns to cut the fruit.

Then we had to do some mashing. It made some lovely squelchy sounds.

We had to be careful when we were pouring in the ingredients.

When we had finished we took them to the freezer so they were ready for the next day.

Forest School

We have had a fabulous time at Forest School. We have been busy exploring our new environment, making bubble wands out of sticks of willow, making clay faces in the trees and concocting different potions. 

We like to help take our Forest School kit to our outdoor space.

Potion making.
