Last Week

Another wet and windy week has gone but our children were less than discouraged by the weather! Quite the opposite – they have had a lot of fun activities on offer and enjoyed them throughout the week. Here are some pictures of what was planned out.

Last Week – Dinosaurs contd.

Last week, we concluded the topic of Dinosaurs. The children have had a chance to use their knowledge and interests in dinosaurs in all of the learning areas.
Alongside dinosaurs we have also been growing runner beans and sunflowers which we will carry on next week.
We would like to thank Lacey’s mummy for arranging our tadpole delivery. Some of the children went to the local pond to get some water to make a lovely natural environment for out tadpoles. The children are very interested in them and checking on them every day hoping to see the frogs.

This Week – Dinosaurs contd.

We have carried on with the dinosaur interest, and this week, we have been using brushes to uncover dino fossils, measured the size of dinosaurs and used vinegar in pipettes to make fizzy science dinosaurs. In our messy play, we experimented with ice dinosaur bones, and the children enjoyed dino jungle play in the large tray as well as making big dino eggs out of balloons and paper mache.

Last Week – Dinosaurs

We have started this term with the topic on dinosaurs as this is where our children’s preferences are taking us.
Here are few photos of what the children have been up to this week:
dinosaur stomping – mixing colours, looking at the patters, recognising differences in sizes and in types of dinosaurs;
dinosaur small world – experimenting with senses, imagination, narrating play;
dinosaurs in ice – using hand and eye coordination and handling one handed tools; using our gross motor skills and getting our arms movements ready for all that writing in September!
dinosaurs in lava! – exploring with senses, imagination, narrating play; understanding of the world in context, experimenting with new words;
dinosaurs in swamp – exploring senses in water, natural objects and narrating play, building our vocabulary;
And bringing nature and season into everyday play by experimenting with blossom!

This Week – Superworm

This week, we focused on worms alongside the story of Superworm by Julia Donaldson.
It was an exciting week full of lovely focused activities set up by our team and great spontaneous ideas from the children themselves.

Some of this week’s activities included:
Learning about positional language with superworm
Making potions out of lemons and herbs
Peeling brussels sprouts and sugar snaps and popping out peas
Organising dinosaurs into size groups
Bug hunting in the garden

Most of our children have now returned and it was so lovely to watch them rekindle their friendships.

This Week – Rainbow Fish & Mental Wellbeing

It was a very lovely and productive week. We have had a lot of fun and learning opportunities on offer this week. We are now finishing a month of promoting mental health and wellbeing in young children during which we focused on feelings, self-esteem and self-confidence and being kind to each other. Here, you will be able to see photos of few activities and areas we have now introduced within the room such as Loose Parts Play, Curiosity Box and a place where we can revisit our emotions. These are ever growing and evolving but you can see what we aim to offer to the children in long term.

Last Week – Owl Babies

Last week, we had lovely owl babies made of pinecones which one of our parents have brought in a couple of weeks ago. The children also made little nests out of paper plates and shredded paper. The children have enjoyed variety of art and craft within the topic as well as maths and literacy activities. We have now mastered cutting skills with all of the cutting activities available each week and are getting to grips with quantities, sizes and measuring!
