1st October 

This morning, the children from The Nest introduced the FS Session by practicing their "Harvest Festival" song and used their human senses.  The children listened for the birds, saw the changes from the last session in the FS Site, touched the leaves and smelt the aftermath of the rain.  The children enjoyed the game at the beginning of the Session as the gross motor skills warm up.  Over the last few weeks Mrs Legg has enjoyed watching the children use their gross motor skills so today's session is going to focus on using their fine motor skills too.  Today the theme of the Session was Hapazome.  Hapazome is a form of eco-printing or natural dyeing that involves transferring coloured pigments from plant materials onto fabric by pounding with a hammer. At the beginning of the FS Session Activity "Hapazome", Mrs Legg taught the children the health & safety of using tools and modelled the task.  All the children that attended the FS Session today listened first and then each produced a piece of hapazome artwork.  Their artwork was great!  The children walked to the FS Site there and back today really well and safely.  The children focused well throughout the session and fun was had.  Well done.
