A Golden end to Half Term

Ash and Saplings have had a great last week of this half term. In dance, we continued with our under and over work with our partners to spooky music. The children moved around each other really well and were able to move their bodies in different ways. We finished off with our spookiest poses.

After reading the story of The Very Busy Spider, the children covered the forest in glittery spider webs, using sparkly wool. They enjoyed threading the wool through branches and trees.

During choosing time, the children have enjoyed using saucepans and pumpkins to recreate making their own pumpkin soup. Outside, they have also been working together to create a race track out of gutters. The grown ups were so impressed with the teamwork and managing to solve problems together. They have also enjoyed leaf printing and painting. The classroom has been feeling very Autumnal!

The children enjoyed their Golden Morning and couldn’t wait to tell their friends and the grown ups about the activities they had been busy doing. Activities included making miniature gardens, water colours, cookery and circus skills. A great morning was had by all.

We finished off our half term with a jewel in the jar treat and this time we had an Autumn Party! The children had great fun playing games such as musical statues and Simon Says, as well as dancing and cakes.
