We completed another spread the happiness challenge this week- we had a big block of ice with sweets frozen inside it and we had to smash the ice up to get at them! It was hilarious bashing at the ice just for the fun of it, we couldn't stop laughing!

In our enhanced provision areas, we have been carrying out lots of magic activities that we planned in our COOL time session. COOL stands for 'Choose Our Own Learning'. In the 'tuff spot', we have been using mini broomsticks to dust away magic glitter to find 'oo' words and then putting any words we find that are real into our cauldron. In the creative area, we have been making potions in the playdough. In the literacy area, we have been writing adjectives to add to our own spells and potions recipes. In the numeracy area, we have been making symmetrical witches' hats. Our favourite however is the role-play area, where we have been pretending to be witches and wizards.

We used our hands to explore four different materials- rice pudding, mud, cornflakes and spaghetti with paint. We then used the app 'Pic Collage' to record adjectives that described each one in pairs or groups.
