Ladybirds

This week we have been getting stuck into lots of fun farm activities including making collages and printing pictures of farm animals, singing animal songs (classics such as Old Macdonald!) and getting outside as much as we could.

Next week we will be having fun looking at the arrival of autumn and making cute little hedgehogs. We will also be looking at the different colours appearing in the trees and creating some fun baby friendly activities around this.

Butterflies

This week we have been developing our fine motor skills and exploring lots of different textures such as oats, rice, cous cous, pasta and lentils. We have also been exploring tipping, filling and pouring and have been using different containers to enjoy this.

Next week we will be getting very messy and will be using different toys to paint with and admiring our results. We’ll be painting with animals, cars, duplo bricks and stacking cups – it should be engaging and interesting!

Bumblebees

This week we have been beginning to learn the songs for our harvest festival celebration! The Bumblebees have also got really stuck into junk modelling with some super creations and we have been exploring shapes and learning some new ones!

We are continuing the harvest festival theme next week and will be exploring more about it. In particular we will be looking at autumn colours and how they change at this time of year.

Dragonflies

This week we have been starting our topic of harvest festival. The children had great fun making a painted sweetcorn using their feet to paint with!! Messy play has also been high on the agenda this week and we particularly enjoyed getting mucky with spaghetti and cous cous! We are also learning a new song for our harvest festival at the church in a few weeks.
