This week, our Reception children had a wonderful trip to the library! It was lovely to see how interested and excited they were as they explored all the different books. The children listened beautifully to stories read by the librarian and asked some fantastic questions.
They also had a go at borrowing and returning books using the library system, just like real library members! Everyone enjoyed looking at the numbers on the shelves to help find specific books, showing great curiosity and number skills.
This week we have also been busy investigating pumpkins! The Reception children enjoyed cutting open the pumpkin and seeing what was inside. They had a go at scooping out the insides with a spoon. They were fascinated by all of the seeds. They then had the chance to mash up the seeds to make their own pumpkin soup. We linked this to their learning of growth, looking at how pumpkins grow and where they grow from.
– Go on an Autumn Hunt and see what you can find.
