We have been having lots of fun this week, decorating, exploring and carving pumpkins.

We were using our fine motor skills to explore the inside of a pumpkin, the boys and girls thought they looked like spider webs, and using the seeds in our home corner. The children decided they wanted to decorate the pumpkin instead of carving it. The children chose the colours of paint and added some glitter to make it extra “special.” The children worked as part of a team to completely cover the pumpkin in paint, taking turns when it was necessary.

Due to the rather wet weather we came inside for the second half of the session, and enjoyed playing with different equipment. A new favourite is the matching meerkat game. Some of the children were matching the meerkats to what teacher they thought they could be. There was many variations, and we even matched some to our friends.

This is one of our favourite songs to listen to this week as we have been talking about emotions and how we are feeling.

Have a lovely weekend!!
