No time to waste, there's a house to be built! Lots of debate over where the cones should go. Smart thinking to transport lots of cones in one go!
These two boys told me they were workers. I told them it looked like hard work and they might need a break like real workmen. After that I noticed them sitting down quite a lot in between working - "We're having a cup of tea and a break!" I was informed!
WHAT'S COOKING?
These children were extremely busy adding "ingredients" to their soup and then pouring it from one pan to another.
Always time for a picnic!
NEW CHALLENGES!
Five new children joined Little Conkers last week and they have already grown in confidence as they have explored our great outdoor learning environment.
They have at times been initially hesitant to try things out, but then have gone back again and again and it has been lovely to hear them proudly exclaim "I did it!"
It has been really pleasing also to see some of our older children developing their skills and pushing themselves to achieve things.
The weather has been beautiful this week and the children have thoroughly enjoyed sharing times outside together.
MEANWHILE, BACK INDOORS...
Lots of measuring and comparing has been taking place.
"We need more! It's not tall enough yet! Maybe 3 more!"
Even Mrs Courtney needed to stand on the step to reach him!
Some of the pea seeds have shoots. There have been many conversations this week about why not all the seeds have sprouted yet, which has led to good discussions about rates of growth. A couple of pea seeds and a seed potato have been planted in a clear box, and the children have been fascinated and curious as roots have grown longer and longer during the week.
"Mine was the first to grow a shoot!"
I wonder what we will find after the weekend!
