This morning we used tweezers and our fingers to take all the seeds out of some pumpkins so that we can make pumpkin soup next week. We talked about what the pumpkins felt like, and some of us were very surprised that they weren’t all orange. It was rather slimy but we had lots of fun!
Today in maths we have been learning about the composition of the numbers 1, 2 and 3. We had to hunt for ladybirds hidden in the leaves and talk about how their spots are organised on their wings. We learnt and used a stem sentence for each ladybird we found.
An example of our stem sentence is “3 is made from 2 and 1. 2 and 1 make 3.”

Congratulations to all our winners this week!
Owls experimented with yeast today in Science. Knowing that carbon dioxide gas is released when yeast is combined with sugar, we wanted to see what happens when more/less sugar is added to the same amount of yeast and warm water. This was done by attaching balloons to the tops of the bottles to observe the presence of any CO2 gas. They loved it!

Today we were busy building and repairing dens at Forest School. We had to work as a team to move logs and large sticks. We also looked for sweet chestnuts so that we can cook and eat them in a few weeks, but we think the squirrels have had the best ones! Lastly we learnt how to light the campfire safely using flint and steel.
We’ve started our new topic “Harvest” in Hedgehog Class this week. Yesterday, we learnt how farmers harvest their crops. Then we had a look at some vegetables and thought of some good words to describe them. After that, we did some observational drawings of a pumpkin, carrot, sweetcorn or red cabbage.
I think these are absolutely fantastic! (Especially as most of these children are still only 4!)
This morning, we took the opportunity to explore the frost outside! The children had great fun and we got some brilliant vocabulary out of the activity too!
