The Daisies class enjoyed some fine motor skills activities linked to our Oliver’s Vegetables theme. We practised our overwriting using themed worksheets, we used play dough to make a range of vegetable shapes, we moved frozen peas using pegs and we completed an “I spy” task that required really good looking at a theme picture to find the objects.

The Daisies class really enjoyed today’s theme related activity. We used a range of vegetables to make a Mr Potato Head. We made choices of what vegetables to use for different body parts and are excited to show them off to our friends in the Infant Corridor.

The Daisies class enjoyed exploring carrots. We used a knife to chop some carrot tops and put them in shallow dishes with wet cotton balls. We are hoping to grow some green carrot stalks!

We also used carrots as a writing tool and practised our overwriting.

The Daisies class enjoyed painting using bubble wrap. They loved exploring this material with their fingers and used it to create carrots.

The Daisies class enjoyed playing a pair shopping game.  Each shopper was given a shopping list and had to hunt around the classroom looking for their items. Once they had everything in their basket, they had to go to the cashier and pay for their shopping.

The Daisies class loved exploring themed sensory trays today. We explored a range of vegetables in soil. We also used a peeler and peeled carrots and potatoes and explored their skins. Finally, we washed the muddy vegetables and had discussions over which vegetables floated in water and which sank.

The Daisies class loved making funny faces today. We used tortilla wraps as our base and then used a range of vegetables to make our other facial features. We chose from cherry tomatoes, carrots, cucumber, peppers and potatoes. We really enjoyed doing this, especially grating the carrots and cucumber to make curly hair.
