During this week we have enjoyed listening to lots of stories about pumpkins!  We made Cinderella’s Coach by melting wax crayons on it, we made and tasted pumpkin soup, we enjoyed sparklers on Bonfire Night and made up fantastic stories about broomsticks and magic!

We have had lots of fun learning about the Julia Donaldson stories.  We looked at the Gruffalo and made some Gruffalo crumble.  Some of us thought it was delicious, some of us didn’t like it at all!  We acted out the rhyme about the big bad mouse too!

Our Reception class did two performances of their play ‘The Bossy King’. Their families thoroughly enjoyed the show. There are certainly some stars for the future in this class.

This week Reception have been doing some super Maths work. They have been making 2 digit numbers, counting objects such as counters and dinosaurs and even practising their number formation. 
 

Nursery and Reception celebrated Bonfire night in Nursery. We had fireworks and sparklers on carrots outside and then came inside to warm up with some hot chocolate and cake. Happy Bonfire night!
