The Bluebells class had great fun today in the PE hall. Mrs Feeney had set up a range of stations with apparatus. We had to take turns moving around the station and were very brave when using climbing frames and attempting forward rolls.

Most of the Bluebells class enjoyed exploring the mobile magic carpet. We had fun exploring paint splatter, cosmic nights and marine fish apps and also played some pair games.
One child was a little unsure of the magic carpet and chose not to touch it saying it was “scary”. We will use this more often in the class in the hope that they become more familiar and confident.

The Bluebells class loved today’s Macmillan celebrations. We made green cupcakes, green jelly, grape caterpillars and fruit turtles to share with our friends during the Infant corridor get together.
We also made Macmillan monsters during art and had some sensory play with more green jelly!

The Bluebells class loved going on an autumn leaf hunt in the Dean Park. They had to search for autumn coloured leaves. We were lucky enough to see some falling from the trees as it was quite a windy day. We gathered lots of coloured leaves and have brought them back to class to make an autumn art collage.

The Bluebells class had a great time at the Dean Park today. We loved seeing some animals – pigs, deer and geese! We also were very brave in the park exploring the giant playground!

The Bluebells class enjoyed decorating some green themed cupcakes ahead of Macmillan on Friday. We used green icing which we had to roll and cut into circles. We also got to be creative using the gel pens and used sprinkles and green smarties.

Today, we enjoyed a Harvest themed sensory assembly. We had lots of fun at the barn story station where we read the book “Chicken Licken”. We also printed using a range of vegetables including potatoes and corn on the cob and had fun in the sensory trays.

The Bluebells class enjoyed a science activity related to our “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” theme. We managed to make rain clouds in a jar using water, shaving foam and blue food colouring. It was lots of fun!

The Bluebells class are loving their theme “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs”. During the film, there are lots of scenes with different types of weather.
We had a challenge to find instruments and materials that reminded us of different weather – sunshine, rainy days, windy days and thunder. We enjoyed playing these instruments along to the weather song and had to listen carefully so we knew if it was our turn to play or not.

The Bluebells class were very brave and kind meeting lots of animals during the fun day. We met bunnies, mice, guinea pigs, a tortoise and ducks!
