Ladybirds

This week in Ladybirds our theme of the week has been insects! We have loved painting ladybird pictures, making butterflies and dragonfly collages and creating some terrific hand print spiders. Our little ones have really enjoyed plenty of messy play including mucky mud play, wibbly wobbly jelly play and crazy foam!

We will be having a big focus on sensory play next week and will be making sensory bags filled with hair gel!

Butterflies

In Butterflies this week we have been honing our fine motor skills with lots of gluing and sticking and getting creative making polar bears and penguins for our winter display. We made some yummy rock cakes to take home and have been using our different senses to explore various contrasting materials and resources.

Next week we will be starting Christmas decorations ready to decorate the room! We are especially excited about this!

Bumblebees

This week in Bumblebees we have begun learning our Christmas songs for our concert! We have also been getting very creative making jellyfish as well as body painting and learning to recognise colours by mixing paint.

Next week we will be doing some cooking making snowman biscuits and also beginning Christmas decorations!

Dragonflies

The letter of the week was M and the number 11, the colour brown and the shape a hexagon. This week in Dragonflies we have been looking at the animals who live under the sea.   We have been talking about and making various underwater creatures including fish, octopus and crabs using our hand prints. We have also been practicing our songs and nativity ready for our Christmas performance in a couple of weeks!

Next week we will be making a start on our Christmas decorations as well as putting in plenty more practice on our Christmas songs and nativity rehearsals!
