Nursery- Harvest Time

In the nursery we have been learning about Harvest time. We watched a DVD all about a combine cutting a field and what it did to the wheat. We used a mortar and pestle to grind up some wheat to make flour. We made bread for snack and also tried some other foods made from wheat.

Sadly one of the magnificent Chestnut trees from the main street had to be taken down. However the council tree fellers very kindly used the trunk to make the nursery and school some seats which are out in the playground for the children to enjoy.

In the nursery we have been following a harvest theme.We have a harvest display with combines, tractors,trailors etc and a DVD made by a member of staff showing how all these vehicles work while cutting a field. we provided a mortor and pestle so the children could try to grind wheat into flour. We made bread for snack and also tried various cereals using different kinds of grain.
