Ladybirds

This week we have been farmyard focussed and have been getting busy making cows, rabbits and pigs for our Spring display! We also had a trip to Pets at Home in the gorgeous sunshine to see all the animals. Ladybirds have spent a lot of time outside this week playing various games and having plenty of fun with sand, duplo blocks and rolling balls. We have also spent a lot of time on physical play and a lot of our babies are cruising around like pros!

Next week we will continue the focus on physical development and plan on enjoying lots of soft play, tunnels and tent fun!

Butterflies

Our April showers display was finished this week and we are very happy with the final result – please do come up to take a look and the Butterflies wonderful creations! We have begun our Spring display and look forward to featuring lots of sheep, sunshine, flowers and chicks. We have been making the most of the lovely weather this week and have enjoying lots of different activities outside from sand play to water play and we took our threading activing outside too!

Next week we are really looking forward to taking a walk in the good weather (positive thinking please!) along the river to the see the little furry animals and the fish at the pet shop.

Bumblebees

We have been busy busy Bumblebees this week! There has been a lot of focus on transport and we have enjoyed making a great display for our construction area with tyre and car paintings, some lovely hot air balloons and fabulous trains! We have been able to enjoy lots of time outside which has been wonderful and have planted some sunflower seeds in some old wellies and look forward to watching them grow!

Next week we will be turning our role play area into a superb garden centre and once again hope to spend much of the week outside! We will also be cooking up some delicious cheese straws – yummy!

Dragonflies

The Dragonflies really enjoyed painting with dinosaurs and making footprints this week!! They also loved mark making on the floor with chalk and crayons. We also enjoyed lots of group games like What’s The Time Mr Wolf and Stuck In The Mud! The Dragonflies have also loved playing Jenga as part of their construction sessions and had lots of fun washing the toy babies in our water trays.

Next week the letter is A and the number is 2. The colour of the week is green and the shape is a triangle! We are really looking forward to working in our construction zone and building towers and conducting experiments with building blocks. We will also be building an obstacle course that the children will design using their own ideas and interests! We will also be getting busy with arts and crafts making flowers from a variety of materials such as paint, paper, playdough, tissue etc.
