This week we have been exploring different autumn vegetables. We had great fun washing then scooping out the seeds from pumpkins and using the pumpkins to make potions in. We also used vegetables to print with, printing with broccoli to make tree pictures.

We have been practising our autumn songs ready for the Harvest festival next week.

The adults have noticed how we are all expanding the range of children we chose to play and learn with, which is fantastic to see. We are able to turn take and share equipment with much less support from the adults.

In maths we have been looking at explaining our thinking when answering questions. For example, instead of just saying there are four objects, we have been explaining that it looks like a 4 numicon, or it is one more than 3.

In phonics, we learnt the sounds h,b,f and l, and practised reading the word 'the'.
