Today we explored the woods, finding fairy toadstools, huge leaves, logs to climb over and sticks to carry!

At home we enjoyed the new sensory/movement resources and puzzles which have been purchased using a grant which has been given to support a specific friend so have been purchased with them in mind, but we will all get so much from them, helping us to move when we need to and regulate ourselves. We will be getting some more resources over the next few weeks/months which will be carefully chosen to help support specific areas of learning/development.

On Tuesday we had a fun run/walk around the fields, watching the horses, looking for mushrooms and getting some fresh air in the sun!

We enjoyed some yummy tomato soup for lunch and a play together in the afternoon!

The cold germs have caught up with Kelly and Carol so today we had a home day, we had fun for nearly an hour with one of our favourite Halloween themed activities! Exploring with bubble potion painting, carefully using the tubes so bubbles would form and we could pop them, as we added more we explored the paint by moving it around with the tubes, mixing in different colours and using our hands, we may even have painted our faces and had lots of giggles at what we looked like!

Friday there was a weather warning so we stayed safe inside, having fun dressing up, getting some energy out with some Danny Go, building and reading! We also had fun throwing the toy monkey into the air and copying how it landed!

Today we had an unplanned home day, we had fun playing together, we went on a plane! Pretended to be doctors, walked out dogs, playing outside with the diggers, read books, sung songs and chatted together!

Yesterday we were given a choice of going for a puddle walk or the garden centre to see the pumpkins! We chose to go to the pumpkins and had a great time walking around looking at all the different sizes and colours, trying to find the smallest one and using the pumpkin size checker!

Before we went out we all chose one of our family photos to talk about, pointing out everyone in the photos, what we were doing/where we were, our pets names and what they like doing. It's a lovely way to take turns talking and using our confidence to talk in front of everyone!

In the afternoon we asked to make a character, we decided on making Mr Pumpkin and chose what colours he should be and what he should wear, we then said he should have some friends and said Oakley, a fox and a squirrel in an autumn forest. We were very excited to see what was created! And then asked for him to jump on puddles. We added the pictures to our creation book! There were lots of questions about how the picture can go from Kelly's phone to the laptop and then onto paper!

Before we went out to have a walk around Hinton Ampner we enjoyed playing a new Speech and Language game, we now choose 1 for two weeks so all our friends get at least two times to join in. This time we are using our pet and family photos to take turns and tell each other about the photo.

When we got to Hinton Ampner, we spotted a scarecrow and sung I'm a Di**le dangle scarecrow, we then carried on walking and spotted some spiky shells under a tree, we remembered from seeing them on our other autumn walks that they are called Beech nuts and could say that squirrels like to eat them and also remembered they hide them away for winter!

We all sat really nicely to eat our lunch, guessed the bird we could hear was a robin (we were right!), ran around together, noticed some little mushrooms growing and enjoyed looking for different colours!

There were lots of pumpkins and it was fun to try and find the gold ones!

We loved exploring the different textures too, making sure we follow the one finger touch rule so we don't break any plants that are growing or any of the displays!

Today we continued our fun with our autumn treasures, this time adding in some water, for some scooping and pouring and also explored if they would sink or float!
