Creative Afternoon
Anyone Seen Mason? 
Mason’s Potato family 
Jacey Being a Roman Fighter
The boys came home from school in a creative mood. Jacey had been learning about Romans in history class, this gave him the idea to make a sword and shield. On his shield he has a dragons face to scare fighters away and a sword for protection. We took a picture and added it to his class twitter page for all to see.
Mason was funny building a block wall that he could hide behind. Would have worked better if the wall wasn’t see through!
Mason also created a whole family using the Mr Potato head bodies and clothing parts. He said they should all star in the next Toy Story film.
Mystic Pizza
Today Martha and Ivor asked nicely for Pizza. Unfortunately we didn’t have any, so Martha thought it would be good to make one from scratch! This is how they did it…
Kneading 
Flour 
Rolling 
Toppings 
Yummy!
Both children said it was so tasty, Tracie couldn’t try it because they wanted to eat the lot! Cheeky Monkeys!
Martha the Glittery Unicorn
Martha made a lovely mask of a Unicorn. Martha spent a lot of time carefully colouring between the lines and adding some green and gold glitter.
Ivor the Ladybird
Wow, Ivor you have made a lovely Ladybird mask! Very shimmery and shiny.
Ivor’s Lego Gate
Ivor was so proud of the gate he made out of Lego. He told us if he blocks up the door he would have to stay and play forever! Bless.
Martha’s Lego Measuring Stick
Martha made a very tall measuring stick out of chunky Lego blocks. She made it to be as tall as she is then counted each brick. 58 blocks!
When Martha comes back in the holidays she is going to make a new measuring stick to see how much she has grown.
Lego Build by Bella
Bella made a lovely Lego creation of Tracie today, with lovely red hair and rosy cheeks.
Bella went on to make Tracie’s body. Tracie absolutely loves the leggings and would love to have some to wear at work!
Quiet Spaces
Today Alfie was grumpy with all the noise the Wanderers and Rangers were making. Tracie decided it was time to go into the garden to find a quiet place for one-to-one play. We chose to play together in the trampoline with different sensory balls.
Alfie enjoyed having a small quiet space to play and we had so much fun listening to the birds and insects flying about.
We decided to have story time on the trampoline. Afterward, Tracie got out and Alfie had a bounce about. When Alfie went back into the setting the older children had finished with noisy play and Alfie was less stressed. Nice and calm!
Homemade Plant Labels
We have been looking on the internet for labels for our plants. We didn’t like the ones we saw so Tracie decided to make some. First she asked her brother, Jonathan to slice up a big log. Then Tracie sanded them all smooth so they wouldn’t give anyone splinters, and so she could paint on them.
Once they were ready for painting, we all sat around the table and decided which ones we needed making first.
Vegetable Signs
Ivor wanted the tomato one, Martha the Cucumber, Fearne wanted Lavender, Poppy the Garlic and Tracie thought a salad bowl would be good for the raised bed that has everything we love eating as a salad.
As soon as the paint had dried Tracie took them outside and sprayed them all with varnish to protect them from rain. They all looked very good and we cant wait to make more.
