AUTUMN TERM
Pre-Prep Life Nursery discover Forest School Mrs Mikail-Jones introduced the children to the delights of a Forest School Lesson. The adventure clothes were donned and some of the exciting learning experiences were discussed, including toasting marshmallows. The important rules were chatted about to keep everybody safe and the children listened intently. The Early Years Forest School area was explored and investigated by all of the children, and they all had a super inaugural experience.
Nursery experiment in chemistry Boys and girls in nursery played together with all sorts of soft and squishy, hard and cold materials as they were introduced to science from Senior School chemistry teachers Dr Brogden and Mrs Chanter. Usually the teachers would come to the nursery to show them all the materials in person, but this year the children watched a pre-recorded video of them opening the boxes. The children then got to see what objects were in the boxes and had a play and feel of the textures. It’s safe to say it got very messy when the cornflour and water mix came out. They scraped through the mixture to watch it magically reassemble itself. The slime was also a highlight, mixing the red and blue colours to make a purple goo.
