boiling hot & freezing cold !

This week we have been exploring  HOT & COLD - the children have tested ice blocks before and after putting in freezer and holding hand warmers. we definitely got cold hands at forest school on Friday when the wind suddenly turned very chilly - thank goodness for hot chocolate !

We made ice cubes out of fruit juice - lemon, orange, limes and squashed blackberries - which we hit with a rolling pin - in a bag !  There were some interesting faces pulled when the children tasted the ice cubes to find out that lemon and lime is sour, I think the blackberry ice cubes were the favourite!

The 2-3 group are getting so good at joining in with the 3 little pigs story 
"Pointy pointy ears ! Sharp teeth ! And curly wurly whiskers !!! "

At forest school the children really enjoyed forest school – climbing the new climbing tree and camouflaging a den - just like an army den.

It was fab when the children visited one of the staff's house to see the drop curb for the drive being put in -when asked what they thought was happening -one child said it was because the hedge had got too big
- when asked what she could put the other side of the new tarmac one child suggested flowers
 - and when asked what she could drive onto her new drive they all said - "your bike " !!!!!!
They really enjoyed having a turn sitting in the mini digger - though one girl said it was "much to dirty" !!
