Ladybirds

This week we have been enjoying the endless sunshine and spending as much time as we can outside. We have also been getting stuck in exploring baby lotion, crazy soap and damp sand – a sensory sensation! We also had a really fun time on Thursday dressing up for our “difference day” – it was great to see so many different cultural outfits.

Next week we will be starting to update our displays and getting marvellously messy! We will also be continuing our sensory play as ever as it is such an engaging and important part of the babies development.

Butterflies

This week we have been changing a lot of our displays, we now have a lovely seaside as well as bright and cheerful caterpillars dotted around our room! It has been very hot this week so we have been in the garden exploring lots of water play to try and keep cool! The Butterflies have also been playing with our new caterpillar number game which we had such fun making.

We are really excited about cooking some fairy cakes next week as well as enjoying lots of messy sensory spaghetti play!

Bumblebees

This week we have had lots of water play, washing baby dolls, pouring water and cooling down! We have been exploring the garden taking lots of activities outside with us. This week we have also changed our book of the month to “Daisy eat your peas” and to go alongside we have been talking about our most and least favourite foods and we made our own dinners!

Next week we will be getting stuck in with lots of messy play!! We are also planning on getting creative in the kitchen and producing some yummy treats.

Dragonflies

This week we’ve had lots of fun! We made a lovely patchwork Elma from one of our favourite books as well as spending a lot of time talking about how we are all different. We celebrated our differences and learning about different cultures in our “difference day” on Thursday  – lots of the dragonflies dressed up and we had a wonderful representation of different cultures in the room! We are also proud of the beautiful leaf rubbings we created this week as well as having fun bubble painting, making telescopes and binoculars.

Next week the letter is X and the number is 21. The colour is yellow and the shape is oval. We are really looking forward to creating volcanoes in our coke and mentos experiment (always a favourite with the children!) We will also be getting creative making masks of our favourite animals and making our own puzzles. We will also be looking at story structures and exploring The Rainbow Fish, discussing themes in the book of  kindness and happiness of sharing – we are also planning to make a lovely display around this.
