This week children’s creative work has been inspired by artist Kandinsky.
They have created beautiful circle pictures whilst using mathematical language to describe them such as round and curved.
Well done everyone, beautiful art pieces!
What a fun filled day supporting Children in Need!
To celebrate Nursery Rhyme week, we have been taking part in lots of activities based around our favourite Nursery rhymes.
We enjoyed cutting out characters from some of the counting nursery rhymes to make puppets. We used these to when we sang our songs.
We made marks to represent our favourite rhymes and used the nursery rhyme bag to sing all of our favourite songs.
This week Blue Group have enjoyed exploring our new
‘Light box’.
We looked at different coloured shapes and tried to fit them together to make pictures. The children made flowers, rockets and cars with lots of wheels on them.
We also matched the shapes together and counted how many we found.
Can you see how many shapes you can find around your home?
This week we have been remembering the brave soldiers in Blue Group.
We have explored poppy colours and created our own representations of a poppy field.
We also made poppy biscuits to take home, they looked delicious!
Later on in the week we watched a tribute to the soldiers on Cbeebies.
The children have been making their own poppies for Remembrance Day.
They have practised their cutting skills, using the scissors to cut out circles and silhouettes of soldiers.
The children explored different techniques using paint to make their poppies, such as finger painting, sponge painting, paintbrushes and using rulers.
This week we celebrated Children’s Book Week.
On Monday we shared our favourite stories with our friends and on Friday we enjoyed a book swop. What a busy week of reading!

World Science Day
The children took part in a taste experiment.
We tried sour, pickled and spicy foods.
The lemon was our favourite!
This week in Blue group we have been exploring bonfire night.
We used neon paint to make firework pictures and talked about fire safety with all of our friends.
Making breadstick sparklers using apples, chocolate and sprinkles was one of our favourite activities this week.
They were delicious!
This week we have enhanced our Small World area by adding castles, dragons and knights. This has enabled the children to re-enact fantasy play scenarios.
We plan for children’s needs, looking at things that are current and interesting to them, to develop their imagination and historic awareness of how life was different long ago.
