Harvest

Our theme for the next two weeks is Harvest and farm to fork.
We will be thinking about 2 different kinds of farms, comparing Philippa's farm (Maiden Castle) with a farm in our story called 'one child, one seed'.
The children will have opportunities to small world role play with farms and tractors and build models with junk modelling (EAD, CL)

We will also be sponge printing and potato printing, and starting a group art activity with collage to make a garland of vegetables and fruit to display at school at harvest festival.

The children still have to make their apple crisps from the apples we collected last week, and to finish off the apples, we will be making some stewed apple to eat at snack. In both these tasks the children will be able to comment on the differences between raw and stewed apple cooked in 2 different ways (UW).

JIGSAW.
This coming week we will be talking about kind hands, and asking the children  to think about some of the kind things they can do with their hands eg playing, helping etc.
At some of our activities such as messy play, threading, using tweezers, adults will be talking to the children about kind hands and asking them what they think.
Can you think of something at home that needs kind hands?   Pre school team
