We had great fun creating our mono-prints yesterday. We paintd bright coloured paint on tin foil, then we made different marks using our fingers and mark making tools. We printed our design onto paper! Look at the beautiful outcomes! @foxfield

Look at our delicious cottages, filled with all types of sweets and treats! They are just like the old women’s cottage from Hansel and Gretel. We used the press and lift technique to print using different shaped objects. @foxfield

Why is it hot? How does it do that! It can disappear!

What a beautiful day, the children are loving the warmer weather. We have lots of water play planned today to keep us cool. The children are enjoying cleaning the easel with our large sponges and cleaning the windows. This all supports their gross motor skills too. @foxfield
