Ladybirds

This week we have been looking at people who help us, we have spent a lot of time looking at transport and encouraging the babies to use their gross and fine motor skills in doing so. We have encouraged them to make the different sounds and noises of the transport. Next week we are going to be doing lots of arts and crafts based on a Halloween theme.

Butterflies

This week we have been exploring music, making our own musical instruments and seeing what sounds we can make from them. With our 2 year old’s we have incorporated these instruments and their sounds in our circle time, using our instruments we have looked and the different concepts of quiet and loud. Next week is the beginning of our Halloween themes where we will be making a new display  and the children will be getting creative in there messy play.

This week we have spent a lot of time within the role play, we have enjoyed being doctors, builders, pilots, police and many more, this has helped us to talk about different occupations using our imagination and with the older children talking about what we want to be when we grow up. Next week we are looking at Halloween and have lots of exciting activities and arts and crafts planned.

This week in dragonflies we have been baking biscuits ready for Halloween using our creativity to designs different patterns. In PE we have been exploring the different ways of movement using an obstacle course and working together to complete different physical activities. Within science this week we had a lot of fun creating ‘fuzzy foam’ looking at chemical reactions of lemon juice and bi-carbonate of soda, we also added new colours each time!

Next week we will continue with Halloween arts and crafts, getting ready for our Halloween party. We will also be looking at lots of group games, learning to work together in pairs and encouraging one another, for example next week we are having a three legged race!
