Ladybirds
This week we have had so much fun with our story book theme, enjoying a “3 Little Pigs” sensory tray, a “Tiger who came to tea” role play tea party and some delicious teddy bear biscuit baking! Yummy!
Next week is our transport week! We are looking forward to whizzing cars through messy play and making our own cars from big boxes – beep beep!
Butterflies
This week we have been focussing on splishy splashy water play to keep us cool in the warm weather! We have also really enjoyed exploring our creative culinary sides with baking some delicious cookies and cakes – scrummy!
Next week we will be getting stuck into a lot of messy and texture play – sensory fun!
Bumblebees
This week in Bumblebees our theme has been “Funny Bones”. We have been really enjoying looking at skeletons and how our bodies move!
Next week we are excited to be exploring and getting immersed in the story of Goldilocks and the 3 Bears!
Dragonflies
The letter of the week was F, number 17, shape a square and colour silver.
Last week was the end of term and it has been emotional saying goodbye to all our little ones that are having a summer break before their next adventure.
We have been especially enjoying the amazingly warm and sunny weather and getting stuck into all the new improvements in our garden! Please don’t forget to pack your little off with suncream & sunhat!
We’d like to wish all our term time families a very happy, sunny and hopefully restful (at times!) summer holiday. We hope you have a great break and we look forward to welcoming you back in September!
With the end of the summer term comes the time for some of our Dragonflies to fly the nest and say bye bye to Bell House as they enjoy a summer break before starting school in September.
It has been a pleasure to get to know our little leavers (and their fantastic families) now destined for big adventures at school and we wish them all the very best as they start this next important chapter of their lives…
Take care and pop in and see us soon,
The Bell House Team x
Ladybirds
This week in Ladybirds our theme of the week has been zoo animals! We have created a zoo tray, lion masks and a lovely 5 little ducks display. We have also enjoyed animal painting and been playing with our zoo puppets! The babies have also enjoyed exploring the garden and getting in a lot of water play.
Next week our theme is story books! We will be making our own books and different tuff trays.
Butterflies
This week we have been looking at different shapes and getting stuck into shape printing with paint, exploring different shaped ice play, making structures with magnetic shapes and looking through shape books and puzzles. We have also gone a walk to feed the ducks and to our lovely local band stand!
Next week we will be looking at different animals to follow on from our zoo trip to Marwell!
Bumblebees
This week we have been making rockets, singing spaceship songs, creating aliens and getting involved with lots of cutting using child scissors – excellent for motor skill development!
Next week we are looking forward to drawing skeletons! We will be looking at big and small skeletons.
Dragonflies
The letter of the week is L, number 16, colour is gold and shape a star.
This week we have been practising our songs for our graduation ceremony! Our ceremony on Thursday was emotion and lovely – we will miss our little school ready Dragonflies so much! We hope all the families that attended also enjoyed it. We have also been looking at seasons this week and planting our sunflowers for us to watch them and measure their growth.
Next week we will be focusing on reading!
Just a reminder that our graduation ceremony for all our little September school goers will be held at 3pm Thurs 12th July at St Peter & Paul’s Church, Godalming!
All pre-school children who are off to school this year and their families are invited…
We look forward to seeing you then!
Ladybirds
This week has been our In, Out, Under & Over themed week which our babies have loved! They are very active and love climbing so we have made dens, tunnels and little obstacle courses for them to explore and develop their movement. Loads of fun!
Next week is our Zoo themed week, get ready to make lots of animal noises little ones!!
Butterflies
This week we have been getting creative using different materials to make lots of different marks. The Butterflies have made some lovely pasta pictures with glue as well as spaghetti painting, animal painting, cotton wool painting and even stone painting! We have also relished our music class twice this week(!) and enjoyed some dancing with a parachute and instruments.
Bumblebees
This week in Bumblebees our theme was The Bad Tempered Ladybird and we have been talking about how our actions affect others. We have also baked some yummy ladybird biscuits – delish! As well as this, we have focussed on maths and lots of fun activities around numbers.
We are looking forward to our theme next week – Aliens Love Underpants! Expect lots of space rocket and alien making, more biscuit baking and a further focus on maths!
Dragonflies
The letter of the week was U and the number 15, the colour light green and the shape was a circle.
This week has been especially exciting as lots of our Dragonflies have been on their new school visits and have told us all about their new schools, classrooms and teachers.
Next week we will be looking at graduation and getting ready to celebrate our littles ones leaving for school (sniff sniff!!)
