This term, the children in Beech and Chestnut rooms have been busy looking at all things pumpkin!
We have been exploring different types of pumpkin and squash. We wondered what was inside a pumpkin so opened some up to have a look. The children worked together to scoop out the seeds. It was exciting cutting the pumpkin open and seeing what colour the flesh was. We had a go at using our senses to describe what the pumpkin was like.
We tried tasting some pumpkin too. In Beech class, the children cut it up and roasting it in the oven. It has been brilliant to be able to explore a new food.
In Chestnut class, Kelly helped us make some into a dip with cream cheese which we dipped carrots and cucumber into. This was yummy!
We are learning a new poem called ‘Five Little Pumpkins’. This is helping us to develop our vocabulary and counting 1-5 in a variety of ways.
When coming into nursery, the children have been discussing hearing and seeing fireworks. We talked about the different sounds they make and what we saw.
The children have been busy making their own firework picture using paint and glitter. We also have been using cardboard tubes dipped in paint to print firework patterns.
