Ladybirds

This week we have focussed on our fish tank area making handprint fish using sparkles and glitter! It has been fish-themed creative fun! On Friday we took a stroll to pets at home to buy new stones and to treat our fish to a brand new home…

Next week we are welcoming some new little Ladybirds so will be having lots of activities to make them feel settled and at home. We are really looking forward to cooking up some yummy nutritious treats next week too!

Butterflies

This week we have said goodbye to some of our Butterflies as they have fled the nest and moved into Bumblebees room – we are very proud of them but will miss them a lot! We have also been very busy making handprint insects this week and learning a bit more about insects, especially as we have been spending a lot of time out in the garden and on walks!

We are really looking forward to our cooking sessions next week and to decorating some tasty treats! There will also be a strong focus on physical development as well as plenty of sensory fun with messy play!

Bumblebees

This week we have welcomed for new fish friends into our room which has been hugely exciting! We have also been painting our own fish tanks for a wonderful display. We held our own Olympic races this week too and awarded the children gold medals for their efforts!

We are really looking forward to making yogurt and fruit cakes (yummy!) as well as spending as much time as possible outside with lots of fun activities planned…

Dragonflies

It’s been a fun week in Dragonflies; making treasure maps, learning about the Olympics, taking part in parachute games and playing our rhyming card matching game! Outside, we made our own perfume with lavender and mint from the garden and we’ve also had fun with water fights, painting pebbles with some beautiful patterns from mixing the colours.

Next week the letter is J and the number is 19. The colour is red and the shape is hexagon. We can’t wait for our egg and spoon race as part of our mini Olympics and will be making trophies too! We will be getting creative with fly swatter painting to create some interesting patterns and we will also continue to look at different countries and their flags.

In other news….

Don’t forget!! We would love to see you tomorrow for a picnic in the park – 11.30am at The Bandstand. All you need is yourselves and your picnic and fingers crossed the sun stays out!
