G3 worked together to make a volcano, "the sticks coming out the top is the lava". "Lava is hot and dangerous".

The Nurture Nest children have been busy making bird feeders!

The children in Nurture Nest have been exploring and learning about all things space related. Jack has done a drawing of what he likes about space.

G3 have been investigating with coloured water, syringes and pipettes. Some of the children made foot prints and filled them in with coloured water.

G3 have been exploring the snow again. They made marks using the sticks, drawing faces, patterns and writing their names.

Using large printing blocks the children explored patterns and the changes to the sand they made. "It looks like stairs", "straight straight wiggly waggly" was the language the children used to describe the patterns.

It's never too cold for an ice cream. The children made an ice cream stall with ice cream cones and called to their friends "come and get your ice creams!"

The children have followed the recipe using Julia's video and using the traditional recipe card. By the end of the week the children were making cakes independently, helping each other if needed.

Ethan decided we needed an "open" sign and a "closed" sign for the door of the outside café in G3 so the children knew when they could line up outside!

This week the G3 children created their own café in the garden. The children have been asking each other what they would like to order; "soup, tea, pizza or milkshake?" Harper made some menus so we could choose what we want to order.

The children enjoyed making popcorn … estimating how long it would take for the corn to pop and counting the kernels that didn't pop.

This week the children have talked about their favourite snack. They then wrote the item on a piece of paper. Copying from the picture cards and sounding out some of the letter.

The children explored what would happen if we added food colouring to the snow. "It's like painting", "It melts the snow". Some of the language the children used.

Hugo spent over 30 minutes building a dragon using wooden blocks. He found some paper which reminded him of the flames and spent time cutting zig zag shapes. Hugo drew eyes and attached the paper to the dragon using tape. He talked about this model. "Did you know some dragons can actually fly and some have tails and some just don't."
