As part of planning we have been introducing scissors into the room for the children to access freely and use them independently to give them more experience on how to handle and use them.

We have been given some new toys in the centre, the children have been enjoying the sorting the bears sorting them into the correct coloured dishes, copying and completing the cards by sorting the bears by their colour and size.

We have been enjoying the lovely weather so went exploring in the woods 🌲

Also part of our planning, we have been exploring ‘experiments’ 🧪 we did the milk challenge adding food colouring to milk and adding fairy liquid in and seeing what happened!!

Making the most of being out in the rain and the changing weather, we have been using umbrellas when outdoors when the weather has been so wet to still go out and burn off all our energy!

As part of planning we are introducing activities that will encourage mathematical language. Today the children showed great interest in this floating and sinking activity which encouraged great language with the children predicting what they think might sink or float and then their thoughts after they added it to the water and whether their predictions were correct 🤔👍🏽

Another new toy we have been given is the stickle bricks, the children really enjoy using these and this encourages their creativity to make whatever they want. Some of these creations are quite interesting 😄
