We looked at the different colours and sizes of the circles and used pens to add features – a few caterpillars, snowmen and funny faces! The listening rabbits found lots of circles in […]

Splatters, Mud-pies and Jelly!

Plus inside the children used different parts of their hand to make pictures, some children loved this-others said they preferred to use a brush. The tuff spot had earth, pots and water with small containers, with chopsticks to […]

Some of the children were very proficient using a knife and all enjoyed ‘having a go’. In case they couldn’t remember when they got home the vegetables we used were – leeks, carrots, parsnips, potatoes […]
