A little bit of snow & a lot of soup

Hello everybody
As the rest of the country disappeared under a blanket of snow the weird Blackpool climate only allowed ua a few flurries, just about enough to cover the grass and a few corners of the playground (boo!) BUT it didn't stop the reception children from having fun (hooray!).
In the morning those who dared to brave the cold donned full waterproofs and had a fab time exploring in the snow. There might not of been enough snow for a snowman but there was plenty to make a few snowballs! In the afternoon when most of the snow had melted we still managed to scrape enough together for a few more (tiny) snowballs.
The freeeeeezing nights brought a discussion about what happens to water when it gets so cold outside SO we had an experiment ooOOOOooo. A bowl of water was left inside and more was put outside. The next day they compared results. BUT what the children didn't know was that Miss Latham had sneaked some surprises into it... They had a SMASHING time breaking it up to find the treasures.
Then on Thursday we had 'bring a vegetable to school' day. I left Mr Lewis at home and took a potato, thankfully lots of children also brought lots of other tasty vegetables. We all had a go at peeling, chopping and adding to the soup, everyone kept all their fingers and there were no disasters (phew). Thanks go to Mrs Smith and Mr Ison for their support that morning(thank youuuu). Sadly they weren't around for the tasting later (or a well timed exit perhaps?). It was actually really tasty (surprising, I know!) ...some children even had seconds... Of vegetables... :O
Finally, thank you for your patience in waiting for parents evening to be rearranged. Those of you who wanted to come should have received your times today (so please check your children's bags) we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday.
Ooo I can't finish the blog without saying congratulations go to this weeks Superstar, well done!

Until next time (or Wednesday)
Miss Latham and Mrs Lewis
