Squirrel Class enjoyed making pasta salad as part of their D and T project. We tasted a variety of ingredients before designing our salads. We learned how to chop different vegetables using the ‘claw ‘ and ‘bridge’ technique.

Oracy Afternoon
In Nursery we spent the afternoon learning how to be good speakers and listeners.
We listened to the story ‘Brown Bear, Brown Bear’ by Eric Carle. We all chose an animal from the bag and used a clear voice to tell our friends about it. We made sure we were looking at the person who was talking and that we sat nice and still!
In Music we sang a song about a hungry monster! We all used our low voices to pretend to be the monster. Some of us pretended to be the brave children in the song who said, ‘No!’ in a loud clear voice to scare the monster away!
Well done Nursery for your fantastic speaking and listening skills!
