Early Years

The rain doesn’t stop Early Years

 

We saw a huge change in weather after all the recent sunshine we have had. The rain didn’t stop the children in Early Years having fun though. They went on a puddle hunt to try and find the biggest puddles to jump in. The children decided to make cars out of crates and worked together, pulling each other around an obstacle course they made.

 

To help the children understand the weather and their environment, they need to be in it.Elizabeth Jarman, 2014

Puppet Show!

Following on from our literacy focus on making stories, this child decided to make his own story using our puppets. He was so excited, he asked for us to record it on the Ipad – so we did. It is so amazing, we thought we’d share it with you!

Experimenting with circuits

Some children in early years were experimenting with circuits this week.

They showed great teamwork, concentration and problem solving whilst learning about the different parts and functions of a simple circuit.

Harlow Carr

We had an amazing time at Harlow Carr last week. We were kept so busy all day. We explored the grounds and had fun playing in the park.

Then we visited the herb garden and used our senses to explore the different herbs they had. We bashed up the herbs to make special potions!

We also made some lovely crowns and used leaves and twigs for our jewels! Thank you for having us Harlow Carr!
