We have been learning about Diwali the Hindu festival of lights. The Bluebells enjoyed a sensory story where we explored sensory props and took part in role play to learn about the celebration. In the Bluebells the children were confident individuals following instructions to make diva lamps. We were successful learners when we created rangoli patterns using different art materials including rice, sand and paint. Mehndi patterns are a traditional Hindu hand decoration we used crayons to create our own. A massive congratulations to the Bluebells who won the rangoli competition.

Our theme is Oliver’s vegetables. We have been learning about the different vegetables and some of the children are able to identify what each vegetable is using their words or symbols. We explored the vegetables, put them in basin, washed them and then carefully with physical support from staff were able to cut some of the vegetables. We enjoyed smelling, feeling and on occasion tasting some of them.

The children were able to confidently hold the knife with support from the staff to cut up the vegetables from the story. We then used the cut up vegetables to make some artwork in the afternoon. We printed using them. We looked at the different patterns and textures it created on the page. It was great fun.

The we had fun exploring floating and sinking in science. We chose a variety of different of items to put into the box full of water. The children were confident individuals and able to choose a variety of class items to put in the water and able to guess with pictures whether it would float or sink. We then chose different vegetables and guessed whether they would float or sink before placing them in the water to see what happens.

National Maths week

This week has been National Maths Week. We have been doing lots of fun maths activities .

Today we were confident individuals choosing numbers to create an abstract face.

We also did some role play. We love number songs and do them during our morning group – counting to 5. Today we were effective contributors and were the monkeys on the bed jumping up and down with monkey masks. We took it in turns to fall off and pretend to bump our head. It was great fun.

We were also confident individuals using the SMARTboard this week. We played a teddy game giving the teddy a specific number of cakes. He said “YUMMY!!” when got it right. It was lots of fun.

Today was MacMillan snack morning at school. We came dressed in purple and green and decorated cupcakes. We mixed green food colouring into the frosting and added it to the top of our cakes. We also used a rolling pin to roll out the green fondant icing and put it on top of a biscuit.

This week we also created pig masks and today we visited the atrium to stand on the muddy puddle with a Percy pig cut out. We also decorated a giant cupcake to display on our door for everyone to see. We enjoyed sharing a snack together with our friends.

Today we enjoyed joining in with Singing Hands virtually. We sang songs, signed, danced and used musical instruments.

We were confident individuals and had fun outdoors playing games and building sandcastles and even had a special visit from Bruce the crocodile to join in the the “Bruce Boogie Beach Dance” on YouTube. The Bluebells had a lovely day.

We also spread jam on croissants and added eyes and a smile to make them into crabs and added blue icing to cupcakes and fish to make them beach cupcakes. They were confident individuals spreading and choosing the fish to add to the top of their cupcake.

IDL – Literacy

We have been learning all about Goldilocks and the three bears.

We looked at the different sized bowls, beds and chairs and matched them to the correct bear. It was lots of fun and then we made beds for each of the bears in the story. One was a BIG bed for Daddy bear, one was a small bed for baby and and one was medium sized bed for Mummy bear. Some of the children were able to tell me which chair, bowl and bed Goldilocks preferred.
