The children really enjoyed their first assembly on Wednesday. They sat beautifully and were impeccably behaved throughout. Thank you all for your donations of fruit and vegetables. We took our fruit and vegetables down to the hall before assembly started.
Linking to the theme of harvest, some of the children made tractors from junk modelling. Next week Ash class will be making theirs in the group activity time.
The role play has transformed into a farm shop and the children have enjoyed sharing of the roles of shopkeeper and customers.
We have enjoyed reading The Little Red Hen and have been learning some new vocabulary from the story. On Ash side, the children explored flour and bread and then got to have a slice with butter, just like the Little Red Hen. Oak class are looking forward to this activity next week!
Both classes ended the week by tasting the fruits we use for our groups: melon, kiwi, pear, plum and cherries. Unfortunately we couldn’t taste any cherries as they are too out of season. We talked about where they grow and how they taste and we were so pleased that the majority of children tasted all the fruits.
