🌟 Pumpkins, Playtime and Harvest Festival Adventures! 🌟
What a fantastic day we’ve had in Reception E! 🎃🌈 Today, we swapped our classroom for the great outdoors as we headed off on our Harvest Festival and Halloween farm trip! From exciting games and planting activities to meeting farm animals and picking our own oranges, it’s been a wonderful day filled with laughter, exploration and plenty of autumn fun! 😊🍁
🎃 Harvest Festival Fun and Games!
We began our day with some fantastic outdoor games and activities! The children had a wonderful time exploring the play areas and enjoying lots of different challenges with their friends. 🌟
One of our exciting activities was an Angry Birds-style slingshot game, where the children launched soft toys towards targets, practising their aim and coordination. We also had lots of fun playing on the playset and whizzing down the slide! 😊
The autumn fun continued with pumpkin bowling, where the children rolled pumpkins to knock down targets, and a very silly activity involving giant inflatable mushrooms! 🍄 The children rolled these enormous mushrooms around as they raced against their friends, enjoying some friendly competition and plenty of physical activity.
These games provided wonderful opportunities to practise teamwork, coordination, turn-taking and gross-motor skills, all while having lots of fun together! 👏💛
🌱 Little Gardeners – Planting Succulents!
After our games, it was time to get our hands busy with a little gardening! The children each had the opportunity to plant their own succulent in a pot, creating a lovely little reminder of our day at the farm. 🌱
This hands-on activity connected beautifully with our previous learning about plants and what they need to grow. It also gave the children an opportunity to practise their fine-motor skills and take responsibility for something living.
The children have brought their potted succulents home today, so please help them find a suitable spot where they can continue caring for their new plants! 💛
🍬 Halloween Trick or Treat!
Of course, it wouldn’t be a Halloween celebration without a little trick or treating! 🎃✨
The children visited their teachers, who each had some sweet treats waiting for them! It was a lovely opportunity to enjoy a familiar Halloween tradition together, and everyone was able to bring some sweets home to enjoy.
🐷 Meeting Our Farmyard Friends!
After lunch, we headed off to meet some of the farm’s residents! 🐷🐥
There were ducks, rabbits, pigs and goats, and they all seemed very curious about their little visitors — not to mention rather hungry! The children had a wonderful opportunity to feed the animals and see them up close.
Spending time with farm animals is a lovely way to encourage curiosity about the natural world while helping children develop a sense of care and respect for living things. It was certainly one of the highlights of our busy day! 🐐💛
🌾 Exploring the Harvest Gardens!
Next, we explored some of the beautiful garden areas around the farm, where we discovered lots of flowers, fruits and vegetables growing in preparation for the harvest. 🌱🍅
This was a wonderful opportunity to connect our classroom learning with the real world. After spending so much time exploring The Little Red Hen, growing plants and learning where our food comes from, it was lovely for the children to see fruits and vegetables growing on a real farm!
We were also able to enjoy some of the sights and colours of autumn, making this a perfect addition to our seasonal learning this week. 🍁🌼
🍊 Orange Picking – Straight from the Tree!
To finish our exciting day, we visited the farm’s orange grove, where the children had the opportunity to pick their very own oranges straight from the trees! 🍊🌳
What a fantastic experience! Rather than simply seeing fruit in a supermarket, the children were able to discover exactly where oranges grow and experience harvesting them for themselves.
This was a wonderful way to bring together so many of the ideas we’ve been exploring in English PBL, from growing and caring for plants to understanding where our food comes from. A lovely final activity to round off our Harvest Festival adventure! 🌟
💛 A Wonderful Day Together!
We are incredibly proud of all the children today. They behaved beautifully throughout our trip, listened carefully to their teachers and enjoyed all the different activities with wonderful enthusiasm. 👏😊
Days like today are such a special part of our Reception experience. They give the children opportunities to explore the world beyond our classroom, develop their independence, strengthen friendships and make memories together.
It’s been a truly fantastic day, and we’re sure there will be plenty of stories to share at home this evening!
Have a lovely evening, everyone, and enjoy hearing all about your little one’s farm adventures! 💛😊✨
各位家长朋友，大家好！
🌟今天的农场外出活动圆满结束，宝贝们收获满满、欢乐而归✨
🌟今天我们在农场体验了丰富有趣的游戏：保卫南瓜、南瓜保龄球（玩法类似愤怒的小鸟）、推蘑菇等，大家尽情玩耍，笑声不断。活动的高光时刻当属 Trick or treat 讨糖环节！拿到糖果的孩子们满心欢喜，纷纷说要和爸爸妈妈一起分享这份甜蜜，把快乐传递给家人。
🌟活动最后我们走进橘子园，开启了特别的首摘体验。橘子树低矮，特别适合小朋友亲手采摘。小朋友们沉浸式摘橘子，先观察，选择橙色的，大大的，还要数一数，要带5个橘子回家，突然有小朋友说，呀呀，我多了怎么办？有小朋友说：吃掉。有小朋友说：给没有满5个的小朋友。……哈哈，小朋友们现在面对问题很有方法了，给宝贝们点赞👍
🌟户外活动运动量比较大，宝贝们也有一点疲惫啦，今晚让宝贝早点休息，好好休整哦❤❤❤
晚上不妨和孩子聊一聊今天农场里的趣事，听听他们的收获与喜悦吧！
