What a fantastic pancake day we had in Froglets! We found out why people eat pancakes on Shrove Tuesday, how to make them following a recipe and then we all got to enjoy smelling and tasting them! Everyone got to join in with the measuring, mixing and chose plain, sugar, orange or lemon toppings. They were delicious! Well done Mrs Small for excellent pancake flipping too! We then read Mr Wolf’s Pancakes – the children loved this story. If you want to watch it with you children take a look here –

Wow! It was great to see the froglets showing us their disco moves this week (sorry for the slightly dark and blurry pics!). We headed to the hall in our disco dress up and danced and sung and everyone had a brilliant time!

The ice has been a huge part of our learning this term… we found an amazing icicle from the hose which must have been dripping all night! We froze some of our toys inside water overnight and worked hard the next day to help them escape, found some amazing crystals in the balancing equipment and even our sand pit sand was frozen!

We have been very busy in Froglets this term, learning all about different zoo animals, making zoos, habitats and enclosures for all sorts of creatures and sharing photos of our own pets. We have all learnt the story and enjoyed creating our own actions to use which remind us of the repeated phrases within the book.

It has been another cold week in Froglets this week and we have loved exploring different shaped ice and creating different colour ice blocks! We even left some water in a tray with some glitter and made a massive ice skating rink for our small world figures! The frost on the tables in the orchard was perfect for making marks on and we loved having a close look at the little crystal spikes on the leaves!

We have also been enjoying reading the Dear Zoo story, moving like the animals from the story and even had a go at learning some songs about the story. The words are attached here if you want to have a go at singing them at home!

We have had a lovely first full week in Froglets. It has been great to see the older froglets welcoming in the new ones and showing them where to find everything! Lots of fun to be had, inside and out (as long as we dodge the big rain showers!).

Today we a very frosty day with temperatures at -4! We wrapped up warm before enjoying a wintery walk in the Orchard to discover beautiful ice crystals, frosty leaves and crunchy grass!

Each Froglet made their own sparkly star for our Christmas hoop! This year we made beautiful stars which link to our nighttime stars from our key text, ‘Wow! Said the Owl.’ Our hoop is proudly hanging in the main school hall with hoops from every class in the school. We hope you will spot it when you come to see us sing next week 🎶

We have been so busy enjoying our Autumn topic exploring colours I have forgotten to take any photos of our activities! Hopefully the Froglets have come home talking about colour hunts, large scale colour mixing with vehicles, painting rainbows, colour sorting and enjoying our key text “Wow! Said the owl.” We have spotted so many beautiful rainbows we have even had to add a rainbow to our daily weather check! I wonder if the Froglets can sing you our song about the weather? 🌈
