Hartley Class have enjoyed cooking their pumpkin soup today using the ingredients which they requested! We collaborated to peel and chop the vegetables, we added them to a pan and gave them a stir and a pipkin of salt. After lunch we each enjoyed a big bowl of pumpkin soup! #EYFS

This morning Class 1 noticed that Ted the Bear was wearing a birthday badge with the number 5 on! Together we planned him a wonderful birthday party by making our own playdough for cakes and lovely cards and gifts. We then represented our own age using 5 frames. #EYFS

Class 1 & 2 have had a wonderful afternoon as they were visited by Fire Rescue. The firefighter taught us lots about how we can stay safe & how we can prevent fires or endangering ourselves. We learnt how to stop, drop & roll and even helped Mick radio through to the fire engine.

Yesterday Hartley Class drew their own special pictures and letters for Santa. After writing our letters we knew we needed to get them to the North Pole in time for Christmas. The children embarked on an adventure to the postbox to post their letters. What a magical day. #EYFS

When Class 1 arrived at school, we noticed a strange box all the way from the North Pole. Inside the letter was a recipe for us to follow which involved pine cones, magical iceberg gems and shimmering magic! We followed the recipe and now we wait! #EYFS

Christmas has arrived in Class 1. On Friday morning the children enjoyed working as a team to add some Christmas sparkle into our classroom! We also welcomed Tim the elf into Class 1. We look forward to seeing what mischievous quests he gets up too! #EYFS

Part 1: When we arrived we headed straight for our favourite area of the day. The imagination area. The children had great fun taking on the role of construction workers, shop keepers, restaurant owners, fire fighters and lots more. Imaginethatliverpool #EYFS

Part 2: Next we headed to the art area where we painted our own magnets, worked collaboratively to paint a giant car & even made our own snowstorm using magical elf powers. Imaginethatliverpool #EYFS

Part 3: We then headed straight for the science floor. Here the children were able to experiment with light, water, electricity and much more. We even created huge bubbles around ourselves and rainbow shadows. Imaginethatliverpool #EYFS

Part 4: Finally, following the science floor we headed to meet a very special elf. He even knew our elf Tim. We experimented with ice from the north pole, created our own snow balls and even made some green slime. Thank you for a truly incredible day Imaginethatliverpool #EYFS

Hartley Class have continued their exploration of their artist of the half term Kandinsky. This week the children explored the shapes used in Kandinsky's artwork. We were inspired by the book 'The Dot' and 'Round' and we tried lots of different techniques. #EYFS

Hartley Class completed their learning on our artist of the half term Kandinsky. We implemented all the skills we have learnt so far of colour mixing and shapes to create our own Kandinsky inspired artwork. #EYFS

A very exciting morning in Class 1, a tuff tray set up by Tim our magic Elf. The children have loved exploring hot chocolate slime and making their own hot chocolate cafe. #EYFS

Hartley Class were delivered some very special ingredients to help them bake their very own Gingerbread Biscuits. We enjoyed working as a team to create our dough, it was nice to smell the new flavours of ginger and cinnamon. This afternoon we will decorate them. #EYFS

Class 1 had a special visitor this morning. Our Christmas cheer and wonderful singing made Santa burst into our classroom. Santa made sure we were all on the 'nice list' and told us lots of interesting facts about his reindeers. He even ate the biscuit we made for him! #EYFS

In our PSHE learning Class 1 have been understanding why it is important to share and cooperate with others. After observing how some of our teddies interacted with their friends, Miss Grundy set us a challenge to demonstrate that we were incredible sharers. Here’s some examples.

One little boy has been very interested in dinosaurs. He has spread his knowledge throughout our class, which has inspired us all to follow his interest. We used our information books to research the habitats of dinosaurs and their characteristics. We made our own dinosaur land.

Class 1 discovered some pine cones, leaves and sticks in the Classroom, along with a note that asked us to head to the rec to look for clues. When we arrived we found orange eyes, a green poisonous wart, purple prickles and sharp pointy teeth. Can you guess this weeks story?

Hartley Class received a very special recipe this morning, Gruffalo Crumble. We worked as a team to follow the recipe, measure out the ingredients and bake our crumble. It was delicious. #EYFS

What an exciting afternoon. One little boy said “I wonder what happened to the dinosaurs.” We used an information book to find out. Later in the afternoon we became archaelogists by carefully digging up dinosaur bones. We put them together just like in the museum. #EYFS
