Expressive Arts and Design Chatter
Big cook, little cook
This morning, we have made our own sausage rolls! We brushed the milk onto the pastry, and rolled the sausage up! We can’t wait to eat them at snack time!
Chinese New Year
This morning, we have started our Chinese New Year Celebrations! We talked about all the special things that are done during this festival, and we found out the red is a special colour: it brings good luck! We used our fine motor skills to thread gold ribbon through our own red envelope and added a special coin 😋
Poetry performances
Today we performed poems that we have explored this week in our Ready Steady Comprehension sessions. We tried to use a range of expressive strategies to enhance our performance.
Our new sensory hideout!
We are so lucky to have been able to get a beautiful new sensory hideout! We noticed how the colours made beautiful patterns on the floor when the sun shone through 😍 ☀️
Tubes + cars = FUN 🤩
We’ve made our own car tracks and tunnels with some tubes and boxes today! We balanced the tubes on the furniture and drove our cars down to see how fast they could go! We had to work as a team.
Big Cook, Little Cook
Have a look at our ingredients…what do you think is on the menu today? We had to listen really carefully to Mrs Sefton as she told us the steps of the recipe…
Stay and Learn
Thank you to all our families who joined us for stay and learn this morning! It was a huge success and the children really love welcoming their families into their classroom. We made our own dough, made some porridge and tasted it just like Goldilocks, cutting and sticking, and fine motor activities. The children really enjoyed it and we hope you did too 🥰
Big cook, little cook
Today we made shortbread biscuits! We weighed the ingredients, and mixed them together. Once they were ready, we let them cool…but they didn’t last much longer than that! 😋
