Ladybirds

In Ladybirds this week we have done lots of painting activities for our day and night display. We have had lots of messy play with crazy soap, cous cous, lentils and lots more! We have also spent plenty of time in the garden playing with the sand and the chalk board and having copious amounts of fun in the wendy house and on the whizzy slide!

We are really looking forward to get stuck in with some cooking next week and plan to makes lots of yummy baby-friendly cakes! Also high on the agenda will be messy play, water play and lots and lots of painting!

Butterflies

This week in Butterflies we have made a beautiful tree which we are all very proud of and are now starting on our Gruffalo display for the window sills. We have also made our wonderful bee ready for summer board with lots of buzzy hand print bees. Another highlight of the week has been the playdough and the children have loved squishing and moulding it. Sadly we have said a fond farewell to Emily who is off to Camp America – she will be very missed!

Next week we are looking forward to as much time in the garden as possible as well as lots of messy play, sensory fun and story time!

Bumblebees

We have a new maths table in Bumblebees this week where we have really been enjoying playing with our activity mats. We have also loved doing some construction painting – one of our favourite activities! We have also made our own playdough in various colours and flavours with a particular favourite being peppermint! We also planted our sunflowers this week and will be taking good care of them as they grow.

We are looking forward to searching for bugs in the garden next week as well as spending lots of time getting creative and stuck in in the mud kitchen!

Dragonflies

It has been a fun, active and wonderful week in Dragonflies! We have especially loved spending lots of time outside tyre painting, rock painting and playing with dinosaurs and water using the guttering in the garden. We have really enjoyed planting our own sunflowers and we can’t wait to see how tall they grow!

Next week the letter is E and the number of the week is 8. The colour will be black and the shape will be a star.  We are excited about becoming chefs and making some yummy cheese straws – delicious! We are also looking forward to spending lots more time outside doing some science experiments, having splashy water play fun as well as some treasure hunting!
