Ladybirds
This week in Ladybirds we have spent masses of time out in the garden and we’ve also been getting creative with painting and tissue paper sticking as well as getting splashy with lots of water play. We have really enjoyed creating our memory boxes (our theme for the week) and included some lovely salt dough footprints and some pictures of the Ladybirds and their keyworkers.
Our theme next week will be numbers! We will be engaging the little ones in lots of number related activities and going on adventures, counting what we see.
Butterflies
We have really enjoyed looking at the life cycle of a butterfly this week! The Butterflies (toddlers not insects!) have made caccons, caterpillars and butterflies for our interesting, fun and pretty new display – come check it out!
Inspired by the lovely Ladybirds, we will be making memory boxes next week to fill with lots of special bits and pieces!
Bumblebees
We have been focusing on engaging all our senses this week with lots of different sensory play. The Bumblebees have also really enjoyed playing in the new role play area, a kitchen, and making lots of yummy food!
Next week we will begin making more fabulous models and will be able to take our creations home to show our mummies and daddies. We will also be getting stuck into some “circle games” in small groups such as The Farmer’s in His Den and Duck Duck Goose – it will be fun!
Dragonflies
This week we have been looking at different textures in play. The Dragonflies have also really enjoyed getting into character in our Post Office role play area! Linking with our Post Office theme, we have also been getting creative designing our own lovely postcards and stamps for our exciting new display!
Next week we are really looking forward to talking about new adventures like going on holiday and going off to school!
