We have had a very busy start to the term and the children have settled back into their routine. We have spent a lot of time outside this week observing and collecting leaves. The children have looked at the changes in the colour and textures. We discussed why the leaves change and we predicted what would happen next. We have used the leaves to create some wonderful art work..
We have visited the site of the bonfire and looked at the ground to see what was left of the fire. We decided we would have our own bonfire in the outdoor classroom. We lit the fire basket and cooked sausages and ate hot dogs with a drink of warm milk. The children loved this experience and we are hoping to repeat this on a regular basis. If you have any creative food ideas for the BBQ that are healthy and easy to make could you let me know as I would like to give the children the chance to taste different things that can be cooked on a BBQ. The children learnt a lot about fire safety and we discussed clear rules about how we behave around a fire.
Next week we are going to be learning about our senses and the children are going to be working together to navigate around obstacles blindfolded. This activity is very interesting to watch and listen to as the children will follow instructions from another child.


Have a great weekend.
