An end of term round up of activities.

Waiting our turn for the scissors.
We all made our own bubble wand out of straws and string.

Making volcanoes

"I want to make an exploding volcano" 

First of all we found out what a volcano looked like using books and an I-pad.  And from looking at it we decided that it looked "Hot" "Dangerous" and "Red, red is my favourite colour" 
One of our Early Years Parctitioners said "I have got an experiment that makes an explosion effect"

Look what happened next ........


We squashed and pushed the dough around a bottle.


The we found the red colour that matched the picture.


We tipped in the bicarbonate of soda then pipetted in some vinegar.


"Watch out here it comes"

Making elderflower cordial

On our Forest School site we have lot's of elderflower on our elder trees. We went to pick some to make some elderflower cordial.
We cut the fruit, measured the sugar added some water and got stirring.




 We waited for two days before we strained it into a bottle. We tried a little in our drinks.....it was DELICIOUS! 


A visit to Benjamin Court

We were invited by Benjamin Court the elderly people home to visit for an afternoon of music making and cake. We were super excited to share some of our favourite songs and baked cakes for the visit as well.

We took turns.


Measured out the ingredients.


Organised the cake cases.


We carefully cracked the eggs "it's alright I have done this at home with mummy"


Mixed it all together.


Then put it in the cake cases.


We had such a fabulous time we will definetley be going back soon for another visit.
