Leaf Man!
This week we read the story of leaf Man by Lois Ehlert. We spoke about the textures of leaves and thought about all the different things we could make using different autumnal items, can you guess what we made? In Understanding the World we spoke about the changes that happen to leaves when they are heated and dried out we placed some leaves that we plucked from the trees into the microwave and were amazed how they changed when they were heated! We also explored mixing colours, we used blotting paper and pipettes to drip ink onto leaf shapes and commented on what happened when the colours were mixed!.

Innovate: Getting The Lost Bear Home!
This week Nursery have been reading the story 'This is the Bear and the scary night'. We spoke about the story and found our own lost bear in the forest school. We spoke about how we could care for the bear. We gave him a bath and called the doctors to check he was ok. After the bear was feeling much better we came up with lots of different ideas to get him home. Some of us made cars, trains buses and planes to get the bear home and others decided to write a letter to the bears family letting them know where he is!
Thankfully the bear is now home safe and sound!
