Nelson Academy

In the run-up to Halloween, the Reception children learnt about Hocus Pocus Potions. They had lots of fun making weird and wonderful potions that smelled, fizzed and bubbled, using their senses to describe what they could see, taste and hear. They also used their imaginations to think about the ingredients they wanted to put into their potions and what their potions might turn them into!

The children also explored pumpkins. They experienced the different shapes and sizes that pumpkins come in, made a delicious pumpkin soup, and had lots of fun investigating pumpkins and their seeds.
