It was a wonderfully muddy week for Walnut Class! At the start of the session, the children listened to the story The Amazing Mud Cake. In the story, a boy called Olli makes a special mud cake for his family but feels disappointed when they don’t enjoy it. The next day, however, Olli is delighted to discover that although his family didn’t like the mud cake, the mini beasts of the forest had eaten it all up!
Inspired by the story, the children eagerly set to work making their own mud pies for the mini beasts. They mixed mud and water and decorated their creations with sticks, stones, leaves, and other natural treasures they could find. One little boy enjoyed moulding the mud so much that he sculpted his mud pie into a miniature mini-beast home.
The children also collaborated on some large-scale artwork by brushing powder paint onto wet sheets, creating beautiful and colourful patterns.
During this session, the children were introduced to a new game called Foxes and Rabbits, which they thoroughly enjoyed.
