A very busy week!
We started off the week with lots of fun in Nursery garden, getting very muddy!

We have also:

* Learnt about Lunar New Year (including Chinese number painting) and tasted lots of foods.
* Made Valentine’s Day cards.
* Enjoyed big mark making activities.
* Joined in with Forest School.
* Visited the library van.
* Talked about where we belong, including Nursery and home (for Children’s Mental Health Week).
* Had pancakes.
* Done some yoga and workouts.
* Made chocolate treats for Valentine’s Day.

This week we continued our topic of Dinosaurs, particularly focussing on fossils.

We have done:
* Fabulous number work using dinosaurs and cones.
*Some work outs to burn some energy.
* Our first Forest School session of the year had to be inside but we learnt all about hedgehogs and then made some clay ones.

We have also been artists this week making dinosaur fossils with air dry clay and then painting them and today we finished off the week by making some ammonite shaped bread.

The children are going to have a busy week this week with their challenges! They will need to rescue the town, it’s people and Pete the parrot from the evil pea’s friend. This week is a surprise for them so please don’t tell them what we will be doing!

Here’s what they will need to do to save the day:

* Thread some more superheroes to help with our challenge.
*Use our counting skills to rescue some of the town’s people.
*Challenge Time with Reception – exploring colours.
*Make a rocket using ‘tricky’ shapes.
*Woodland Wednesday.
*Make a ‘Superhero smoothie’.
*Make a jet pack to finally get rid of the baddie!

Our topic this term is Supertato and we have really enjoyed the story so far.

We rescued Supertato and his friends and then ate them! We carefully used the microwave and hob to make baked potatoes and boiled potatoes. They were delicious!
