Celebrating Halloween

Today at Little Owls we have had the best day celebrating Halloween We have all participated in some super fun activities including: mummy biscuit making ; break the pumpkin; chocolate apples; rice krispy cakes; spooky Halloween slime and we even had a Halloween party at the end of the day Most of the children enjoyed dressing up and showing their outfits to their peers whilst dancing around to Halloween songs Little Owls favourite song was definitely ‘Monster Mash’ At the end of the day Little Owls got the chance to have a ‘Halloween themed tea’ which they all loved!

The children have enjoyed talking to their familiar adults all about Halloween and what they are going to do with their families after nursery-

“I have to say thank you when they give me sweets”
“I need to say Trick or Treat!”
“Pumpkins smell yucky”
“I like chocolate,it’s yummy”
“Look at me”
“It’s on my nose”
“Can I make one now please?”

We hope you have a lovely evening with your families

Tawny Owls

This week we have been celebrating all things Halloween in Toftwood Tawny Owls we have been learning about this event through various activities based on our children’s interests. The children have been exploring through their sensory play and creative play.
We have had pumpkin washing, where the children used water a sponges to clean all of the mud from the pumpkins ready to carve them.

We have also had a sensory water tray, to create witches potions where the children filled and emptied containers.

The children also enjoyed playing with our shaving foam pumpkins tray, where they enjoyed splatting the foam pumpkins!!

The children learned many physical, creative and sensory skills from these activities. We have also been learning new words, such as pumpkin and potions well done Tawny Owls!

Visit from the Library Bus

Today at Little Owls Scarning we had a super exciting visit from the Library Bus Some children from Barn Owls, Snowy Owls and Tawny Owls volunteered to be extra special helpers The children got to explore the bus and search through all of the shelves to find their favourite books All of the children thoroughly enjoyed independently choosing their own stories to share with their friends After lunch time Snowy Owls and Barn Owls had a group time where they listened to a familiar adult read their chosen stories!

Lots of children shared their thoughts whilst on the bus and reading the stories-

“Look it’s blue”
“I can sing like a mermaid”
“Can I take this one to show my doggy?”
“There is lots in here”
“Bye bye bus”
“My mummy loves purple too”
