EYFS joins the Maker Festival
This is the second whole-school festival in collaboration with the University of Sheffield. Utilising skills gained across the year, the children contributed to an outdoor celebration festival, displaying items made using their developing skills. The children in Nursery displayed their skills in fixing and joing with cardboard and linked this with learning about animals. They each produced their own animal using a range of different joining techniques, for example flange, treasury tag and split pin. The children also developed cutting skills using a range of different scissors, knives and MakeDo saws. The children's learning about different animals and insects was supported through the reading of classic children's books including Dear Zoo, Walking Through the Jungle and The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
This inspired us to plant a sunflower seed and see how that changes over time and whether or not it grows taller than us.
Beyond the 4 Walls
The children have been working closely with Dom and Buddy the dog to explore the natural world around them. This has supported them to make progress across the prime areas and particularly with their the personal, social and emotional development.
