Ladybirds

This week in Ladybirds our theme was the weather. We had lots of fun making lightning bolts, raindrops and some pretty snowflakes. The little ones have loved sensory play including getting stuck into flour play, crazy soap play and leaf play (lots of interesting and contrasting textures). We also really enjoyed some leaf painting this week.

Insects will be the theme for next week! We will be getting crafty and making spiders, butterflies and of course ladybirds as well as some other creepy crawlies.

Butterflies

This week in Butterflies we have been getting stuck into lots of messy play which our little ones have loved and got fully engaged in! We have also been enjoying some more cooking time recently and this week made biscuits with dinosaur foot prints in them! We absolutely loved dressing up for Children In Need on Thursday and thank you to everyone who made such an effort and took part.

Bumblebees

This week we have been making some super sensory bottles (plastic bottles that we have recycled to use as sensory items by filling them with different contents to create different sounds). We also really loved creating and playing with our messy play farm. The Bumblebees also enjoyed playing with dinosaurs in ice – brrrr!

Next week we are going to be focusing on exploring our favourite foods.

Dragonflies

This week we have concentrated on preparing for our fantastic thriller dance routine to raise money for our friend Pudsey The Bear to give to Children In Need! We have also made our own playdough, enjoyed our fab music session and practiced our handwriting as well as lots of other super fun activities.

Next week we will be making some delicious cheese straws and continuing to work on our upcoming Nativity play. We hope practising singing the songs at home is going well! Please let us know if you need another song sheet or a reminder on your child’s part in the little production.
