Autumn and Halloween

We have had a great first term back in Owls and the children really enjoyed seeing the seasons change and using their creativity and art skills to explore the different materials and objects associated with Autumn.

The children used their 5 senses to explore the smell of pumpkins, feeling the different textures of conkers against their spiky shells, listening to the crunching of leaves outside and seeing the colour changes of the leaves and the trees go bare!

The children loved celebrating Halloween through sensory play. They carved out pumpkins and used conkers to make art.

Outside Play

One of the fundamentals for our children is that they are able to use their gross motor skills and imaginations to explore our outside spaces.

We have so much fun going out in all weathers to use the scooters, bikes and other equipment where children feel free to explore their sensory and physical needs.

We jump in the puddles, explore the plants and play with the outside toys but most of all we enjoy hearing the laughter of the children and watching them enjoy their favourite time of the day.

Christmas

It was a busy time of the year but the children coped with it brilliantly and enjoyed the festive celebrations we had!

The Owls enjoyed their Christmas party and loved the disco lights and bubbles!

Once they had finished, they all sat down to try different snacks and food.

Parents and caregivers were then invited into the classroom for a Christmas sensory story where children took part in helping Mrs Adams tell the Christmas story.

It was lovely to see all of the parents and the children getting excited for Christmas!

We wish you all a peaceful break, particularly the children who have worked so hard this term!
