In expedition today we were historians and looked at a very old special bear. The children worked collaboratively to make a jigsaw of Mrs Bubb’s old bear. We discussed what the curiosity box bear means to Mr Meade’s dad and how he has looked after it for 65 years. The children said how they knew it was old by the faded colour, the fur and how it was really floppy. The children then drew their families and special bears they have at home. #LovePlover
This miserable and bleak weather didn’t stop us from having fun this afternoon! We got our waterproofs and wellies on and did some exploring in the rain, puddles and water. The children worked so well together to fill big buckets of water, carry them together and pour into our water area. Along with all the jumping and splashing – hence the wet socks. #LovePlover
Colour Run Reminder:
Thursday 3rd October (this Thursday)
Can all children please come in white or light clothing on Thursday, which you don’t mind getting covered in powder paint! (All paint is child friendly and washable)
Children can also wear sunglasses to protect their eyes, if you wish.
All we ask is children bring in a donation for the Plover Pantry – dry foods (pastas, rice, lentils, cereals), tinned food (soups, beans, corned beef), drinks (bottled water, bottled cordial) etc.
We look forward to having a vibrant and colourful day!
Thanks
EYFS Crew
We have been busy baking bears this afternoon, in F2. We all mixed to make the dough. Some of us rolled, cut and baked and some of us will do this tomorrow morning. We will all decorate our bear biscuit tomorrow. If you have sent your money in, your child will be binging home their biscuit to share 🙂 Remember all proceeds are going towards buying bears for the local children’s home.
In expedition yesterday, we discussed how special ‘Dogger’ is to Dave. We linked it to how special our crew bear Rainbow is to each and every one of us. Then we thought of some rules on how we should look after Rainbow. We showed democracy by voting for our 5 most important rules that us and our families should follow when looking after Rainbow. Crew Meade are so excited to take Rainbow home and go on lots of adventures. Birthday girl Alicia, was the first to take Rainbow home yesterday. She drew a picture of her and Rainbow playing on the trampoline which they jumped on in her garden together. I wonder what else Rainbow will get up to? #LovePlover
Life time achievements, team work, problem solving, having fun, perseverance and resilience. This is what out door play is all about! Shout out to Tommy, who can now balance and walk on the stilts.
It was great to see so many other children developing their gross motor and core skills and using their balance and coordination in PE to create and climb along their obstacle course. #LovePlover
In maths today and yesterday, the children have been exploring the number four. Using our subitising skills, counting skills and matching skills. It was great to see so many children in provision use, find and make four in different ways and shapes. Abbie said “2 and 2 makes 4 it is a square. 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 makes 4. It is a line”. Shout out to Kira who made a tower of 20 and counted all the cubes! #LovePlover
F2BP for awesome performance of our RWI poem, ‘Bedtime March Past’.
