Ladybirds

This week in Ladybirds our theme of the week was happy holidays!  We have really enjoyed sunshine sticking, making sand pictures, splashing about with our water beach play and we especially loved having our own baby beach party! Also this week, the little ones have got really engaged with dabber painting and had lots and lots of garden play.

Next week our theme will be colours and we are looking forward to multi coloured messy play in the sensory trays as well as lots of painting different coloured things in real life, like different fruit. We are also especially looking forward to rainbow coloured rice play – the babies should love it!

Butterflies

This week we have had fun and engaged with learning about numbers and letters. We have created a fab new number display board using fun animals. We have also been exploring colour using lovely fresh and natural (not plastic toy) food.

Next week we will be exploring the outdoor area and learning about nature in summer time. We are hoping to find some little creatures as well as looking at the plants in the garden.

Bumblebees

This week we have been very busy putting up our super bus display and the children have already begun working on our new space display for next week. The Bumblebees especially loved playing with the pink gloop this week – lovely sensory stuff! We have had lots of little visitors this week; two frogs, three spiders and some teeny woodlouse!

We are really looking forward to exploring space with all our friends next week!

Dragonflies

This week we have been talking about our families and drawing them for our new display. It has been a lovely activity and valuable learning about the different families we all have. We have also been looking at sensory development and have been bringing messy play into our activities to continue exploring various textures and smells.

Next week the letter is X, number is 21, colour is yellow and shape is circle. We will be focusing on leanring all about minibeasts and discovering more about our lovely stick insects we have here in Dragonflies.
