Veg Patch Party

We read 'Veg Patch Party' by Clare Foges this week. We went on to discussthe vegetables in the book and whether we needed to cook them or not. We looked at how vegetables change once they have been cooked. We watched that happen by making popcorn in the microwave. The children loved tasting the popcorn. 

The Magic Crayon

This week we have been reading The Magic Crayon. Jack was seven and Chloe was six. Jack liked his sister, but loved to play tricks . . .So begins this rollicking, rhyming tale that celebrates the power of imagination - with a difference! When Chloe's silvery crayon develops magical powers, it sparks a thrilling chase through a fairytale world - an unbelievable adventure where her drawings spring to life! Can Chloe use all her creativity and inventiveness to rescue her brother and save the day?

The nursery children have been drawing their own pictures hoping they come to life with a little magic. 

Not a Box

Our book this week was Not a Box. The children have loved being creative with the junk modelling boxes. Look what they made!

We enjoyed reading Handa's Surprise. After reading the story, we had a go at making a fruit salad using some of the fruit from the story. We enjoyed tasting the fruit salad.
