Flying Start @ Camborne Enjoy Pumpkin Themed Fun!

The children at Flying Start @ Camborne got into the spirit of Halloween with a whole array of different pumpkins in their nursery! They had pumpkins of all different colours and sizes – including an unusual white one…

The children felt their textures and how heavy they each were, and then sorted them into height order by looking at them really carefully!

They also had a go at stacking them and watched them wobble as they balanced!

Some of the pre-school and holiday club also made pumpkin playdough… Look at the concentration as they roll their orange playdough into pumpkin shapes and decorate them!

The pre-schoolers at Flying Start @ Camborne have been looking at all the changes in the nursery garden, and discussing all the colours and falling leaves they can see!
