The children were very excited when they had a surprise visitor in the Nursery - it was the little brown mouse from the story of the Gruffalo! Everyone was eager to help when they heard that he wanted to go for a walk in the school grounds but was worried that he wouldn't find his way back to us. Working together initially we created some repeating trails using a selection of our autumn treasures, the children then had a turn at designing their own individual one for him to follow. Alongside the two different trails that you can see in the photographs, the children also came up with some other alternatives. These included repeating the pattern of a big leaf followed by a small leaf, as well as repeating a conker followed by a big leaf.
One of the trails consisted of a small leaf followed by a conker and then a big leaf - the little brown mouse was eager to try all of them! Which autumn treasures would you use to create your own repeating trail?

You could create some pictures using the autumn treasures that you find too.
We have also been sorting our collection of leaves according to their size and have acted out a number rhyme about 'Five Autumn Leaves' - it has been a very busy week! This week we have been reading the traditional tale of 'The Little Red Hen' and have been talking about helping each other and sharing the workload. It was fun re-sequencing the story and choosing our favourite characters, the Dog and the Little Red Hen were the most popular! We decided to bake some bread just like the Little Red Hen had done, so after washing our hands and putting on our aprons we combined the ingredients then kneaded our dough and shaped our rolls After leaving them in a warm place to rise, we put the rolls in the oven to bake They smelled delicious as they were baking - and then they were ready to eat! Perhaps you could have a go at baking some bread too! When out and about in the school grounds we have been trying to spot different shapes in the environment and then once back inside we have created 'shape' pictures of either our house or someone special to us . . . Perhaps you could create your own shape picture - which different shapes would you use? Post us a comment and let us know! |
