An #atelier & #forestschool collaboration on this wonderful winter morning. ❄ The whole world has turned white! Everything sparkles & shimmers ❄ #shadowprovocation @EYTagteam @cosydirect #EYtagteam. Warm milk & a frosty forest, the perfect combination. @AshbridgeOutdo1

Last week we took colour monster out on a LoVe WaLk❤ We talked about the things that we love the most in nature. We also showed lots of love to the chickens on our walk. #Squirrels @cosydirect @EYTagteam @AshbridgeOutdo1

Cooking, baking, flipping, tossing and frying pancakes. "It needs milk" "my mum will have it with tea" "I am making mine with a drizzle lemon" "mines going to cook on fire" @cosydirect @EYTagteam #PancakeTuesday

In Foxes this morning we have setup an open ended tuff spot for Foxes, inviting them to create pancakes with looseparts. #PancakeDay @cosydirect @EYTagteam #EYtagteam

Our morning literacy included reading 'Jim and the bean stalk'. Children in Foxes independently decided to compare the length of their cube towers to our very tall bean stalk! Children also enjoyed the beautiful & different end out come of the story. @cosydirect @EYTagteam

Foxes have started their learnings around their book of the week 'Jim and the bean stalk'. Children have been drawing Jim / Jack to go on our very own bean stalk which has grown in the classroom. #FoxesAtMaxy @cosydirect @EYTagteam #growingandchanging

Love bugs in Foxes! After reading a wonderful book about love and feelings. We talked about the people we love the most. We also learned a new way to make love heart sign thanks to a little fox. A mathematical invitation to inspire number sense! @cosydirect @EYTagteam #EYtagteam

WORRY MONSTERS! How do they effect our mind! What are some of the things that worry us! Who can we talk to, about our worries ? How can we make our worries go? @cosydirect #EYtwittertagteam @EYTagteam #MentalHealthAwareness

Painting our Breath ~ Breathing exercises is such a huge part of #Mindfulness. Today we focused on our motion and feels of our breath. We imagined what would what our breath look like if we painted it. @cosydirect @EYTagteam #EYtagteam "my breath is deep"

A healthy snack & hydration station for Preschool team. We have been focusing on mental health awareness week with the children and teams at Maxy :) @cosydirect @EYTagteam #EYtagteam #earlyyears @ashbridgeschool @mentalhealth #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthMatters

We revisited our learnings around hibernation from our winter study month. I help the children recall the discovery we made into winter sleep. We created this visual representation of our understandings of the process of hibernation. #atelier @cosydirect @EYTagteam #EYtagteam

Throw back to last week's #storytellingweek. What story do you think you could recall and thinks of from these items in the egg carton. #atelier @cosydirect @EYTagteam

Winning at this activity!! Look at those stacking skills. Well done foxes!!! #Maths @cosydirect @EYTagteam

Foxes are practising fine motor control. Threading, stacking and making button & bead kebabs. "It's wobbling" "it's getting bendy" "why is it getting bendy" "will it hold dinosaur weight" #atelier @cosydirect @EYTagteam
