Rainbow Room - Big Question - Term 2.1 - What do we know about Winter? - 2024 - 2025

Our big question for this term has been 'What do we know about Winter?'.

Our focus stories have been, 'Betty and the Yeti', 'We're going on a polar bear hunt', 'Little penguin learns how to swim'.

The children have been offered a range of motivating, winter-themed activities to engage in and explore: ice painting, ice shapes with creatures frozen inside them, creating winter collages using winter colours and silver foil, artificial snow and icing sugar and ice scrapers.

The children enjoyed a sensory version of 'We're going on a bear hunt'; they dressed up in winter hats, scarves and gloves, explored ice, polar bears and shone their torches.

We also enjoyed cooking a warming winter, vegetable soup which the children enjoyed eating at snack time.

We were also lucky enough to have some real snow which the children really enjoyed....
