This week in Mighty Oaks we’ve had two special visitors .

One being Ernie, Chloe from lady bugs was very kind and brought him in for a wonderful visit and talk. She explained all about how baby Ernie has grown and what his needs are. The children were delighted and so surprised as they remembered Chloe pregnant with him. All very keen for a cuddle. 😍

Thank you Chloe and Ernie.

Second was Cool Cat, who all week had been coming in to say good morning to us all. The children have loved seeing Cool Cat and had wanted to give him some special pictures they had made to take away. They enjoyed having cuddles, high fives and praise for their time keeping. Thank you Cool Cat 🐱

Along side these visit’s we’ve also done lots of maths work and reading. In maths the children have been focusing on measuring using cubes then recording their findings and capacity, where we talked about estimating and comparing.

In read, write ink time we’ve been using Fred frog 🐸to say/read simple cvc words and looking at letter formation. With the story of the week ‘ Ten fingers, ten toes’ about babies the children have been looking at visual prompts for recall and role play and playing Kim’s game, which is a game set to challenge them on missing charters or objects relating to the story.  📚

In cooking club we made Oat cookies with cherries 🍒 and dried fruits. We talked about where the products had come from and used the weighing scales to measure out our ingredients. The children had lots of fun experiencing the changes in the ingredients throughout the process and carefully used the knives to chop up the cherries. After they’d been baked in the oven we had them for snack with some milk. ⏲🧑🏾‍🍳

In Base camp the children explored the safe area to make dens, climb on the Jacob’s ladder and roll down the muddy paths. 🌳🪵

Looks like everyone had great fun, can’t wait to see what next week brings.
