@MichaelRosenYes Thank you for your reply! FS children will be so excited when I tell them tomorrow. We’re loving Bear Hunt and Chocolate Cake at the minute 🐻😊 So, thank you for engaging our children with the pleasure of reading 📚

Our ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ Outdoor Friday 👣 🐻 We went through swishy grass, squelchy mud and a big dark forest before finding the bear (and hot chocolate!) #bearhunt #michaelrosen #readingforpleasure #outdoorlearning @MichaelRosenYes

When you have a member of staff who’s brave enough to pick up a giant spider who then inspires the children to have a hold 🫣😱 Just another day in Early Years 🕷#eyfs #outdoorlearning #activelearning #spiders #handsonlearning

If any parent is wondering why their child’s feet had paint on, this is why. We apologise if we caused an additional bath night. If you squint, we think our painting represents spring?! 😉🌲🌸 #outdoornursery #forestschoolnursery #earlyyearsideas #eyfsideas #olasjprimary

We hope all of our children’s mummies and mummy figures in their lives had a lovely Mother’s Day yesterday. Your gift from the children was a flower sun catcher, just in case you weren’t sure 😉💐 #earlyyearsforestschool #forestschoolnursery #forestschoolideas

If you'd like to support #BigYellowFriday but are busy that day you can do like the pupils of Our Lady & St Joseph's Primary School and host your event early! They kindly held a bake sale last week and their cakes look delicious! Well done @olasjprimary👏👏

When you come to school with the best hair, you have to draw a self portrait! We had clip boards and mirrors dotted around the classroom this week to support our topic learning and practice our drawing skills #olasjprimary #earlyyears #eyfs #eyfsideas

A Big School Birdwatch was the on the agenda for today’s Outdoor Friday. We’re sure the birds will have lots of full tummies from our bird feeders. What birds can you spot over the weekend? @Natures_Voice #BigGardenBirdWatch #outdoorlearning #stewardship #eyfsactivities

To help embed our children’s topic learning of a moat around a castle, we added a drawbridge to our home corner today. It was very popular and has been fixed twice already! Not sure it’ll last the week 🙈🏰 #eyfsideas #earlyyears #olasjprimary

A wintery Outdoor Friday! Inspired by One Snowy Night by Nick Butterworth, we made dens for our animals #percytheparkkeeper #eyfsoutdoors #eyfsstories #bookishwaytoplay #forestschoolnursery #olasjprimary

My older son asked for a stuffed "6" from the show @numberblocks for Christmas. My wife and I decided both boys needed the full set (1-10). I didn't keep track of the hours, but I can tell you, it felt like a marathon. My hands are raw from the stitching, but it was rewarding!

[OLASJ Foundation Stage @olasjfoundation]

Snowball throw, hoop a reindeer’s antler and hot chocolate with cookies is only some of the fun on offer for the children this afternoon. What a lovely Christmas fayre @olasjprimary Check out the blogs later this evening for more photos of today 🎅🏼🎄
