The children enjoyed preparing the garden this week. They turned over the soil and dug out the weeds so we could plant some new seeds. They then helped to carefully place the seeds in and watered the plants together. We are looking forward to watching as they grow! 

We have been busy marble painting in the art area this week. 

The children are so creative outside. Using their gross motor skills to lift the crates and large blocks, the children worked collaboratively to build a bus. The children made the bus big enough for the whole group playing to fit inside.

We practicing our skills we have learnt over this half term and had some delicious banana bagels this week. The children helped to toast, mash and spread and enjoyed eating the final product! 

This week we have enjoyed planting herbs in our outside area. We looked at the packets and the seeds, we spotted some were tiny and round, some were large and black and looked at the packets carefully to see what they would grow into. The children sprinkled the seeds and watered them, we have added labels so we can see what herbs are growing.
