Ladybirds

It has been nature themed week this week in Ladybirds and we have loved it! We have enjoyed leaf and stick painting as well as “nature sensory play” with leaves, sticks and pinecones. The Ladybirds have also spent as much time as possible outside exploring the garden this week.

We are really looking forward to our “Under the sea” theme next week. We will be making an under water display, playing with (toy!) animals in water as well as many more exciting related activities! We will also be getting plenty of fresh air and going on a walk next week.

Butterflies

This week we have completed our Apple Tree Farm display which we are very pleased with! The Butterflies really enjoyed sponge painting the apples and gluing the tree. Hand and feet painting was also a particular hit this week, most likely as it was very messy! We have also been on two walks this week to see the duckies and enjoy some sunshine.

Next week we are looking forward to spending as much time as we can outside as well as plenty of messy play, sensory exploration and story time.

Bumblebees

We have created a lovely display around our favourite books and nursery rhymes this week. We are also really enjoying our new “wow” board with lots of bits being added each week! A particular highlight this week was going on a walk to feed the ducks, especially as it was nice weather.

Next week we are going to make and create, get outside as much as we can and have lots of key person time.

Dragonflies

This week we transformed our home corner into a doctor’s surgery and have thoroughly enjoyed role play in there. We also created a new summer display which we love as well enjoyed plenty of messy play! We also introduced our “happy apples” system to promote and engage the children with our golden rules. Once they have received 3 happy apples, awarded for super behaviour (could be listening, tidying etc.) they are presented with a little certificate to take home.

Next week the letter will be Ee and the number 8, the colour will be black and the shape a star. We are really looking forward to making biscuits next week as well as looking closer at how plants grow.
