For some last day of fun before the half term break, the children wanted to ice some biscuits and decorate with some sprinkles of their choice! We had lots of rainbow sprinkles, pink sprinkles with hearts and some blue sprinkles.

The children used their spoon to drizzle some icing onto their biscuits and used their spoon to spread it all on the top, we got very sticky!

After our trip to the shops, we walked back to Nursery and washed our hands before talking about what we were celebrating. Our friends Olivia and Dominik both celebrate Fat Thursday which Dominik told us " you eat lots of doughnuts, biscuits, sweeties and chocolates!"

We enjoyed our doughnuts as a class, Anastasia said her one had sugar and Isla said her one was "yummy!"

To celebrate Fat Thursday with our friends, we went for a lovely walk to the shops! We reminded ourselves of some safety rules such as holding hands and looking both ways when crossing the roads. When we got to the first shop we couldn't find any doughnuts other than doggy doughnuts.. but that's not what we wanted! Then Evie and Victor spotted some cheerios - "this looks like a doughnuts, it's the same shape!

We then decided that we could go to another shop to try and find some dougnuts... luckily we found some!

Snowdrop class love some dough disco... we used our listening ears and magnet eyes to follow instructions on what we need to do. We like to decide and vote on what song we could do our funky fingers to and this time we chose 'We like to move it!'

We enjoy pressing our fingers into the dough, squeezing it and rolling it into a ball or a sausage!

The children came up with an amazing idea of making tomato sauce.. but we needed a plan! Kelly and her helpers first decided to use a rolling pin to squash the tomatoes but when we tried it it taste watery!

We then thought about a blender! We had to chop the tomatoes up again and add them into the blender. Kelly made sure we were being very careful and safe when using the blender as its very sharp!

Our sauce looked a lot better and was more thick. We needed a jar to put our fresh tomato sauce into and even made our own label!

We thought of many ways to cook our potatoes... frying them in oil, cooking them in the microwave or boiling them but then Isla said "how about air fryer?" And that's what we did! Kelly had her superstar helpers to get the chips ready and when they were done we got to try them!

Aayaan gave them a thumbs up, Andreea said they were good and crunchy and Victor said they were delicious!

Although the chips were good, we thought they were bit plain.. but how could we make even more yummy?

# data[].attributes.body
After reading The Enourmous Turnip we had a discussion all about growing vegetables and if they grow in the ground or on trees! The children decided they wanted to explore potatoes and thought about what they could make with them.. we did not want to end up with turnip jam for snack!

After peeling the potatoes and cutting them safely using our knives, Isla realised we could make chips! But how can we cook them?

The grown ups joined us in class to take part in lots of funky fingers, literacy and communication and language activities.

This was a lovely opportunity to show the grown ups how we play and learn at nursery and the things that we engage with. It gave the adults in class time to explain how we complete our group times and the progress through the year.
