The Snowdrops showed lots of interest in activities all about Children in Need. Everyone responded well to painting activities, making a Pudsey Bear mask and exploring lots of colours for his spots! We showed super spreading skills, icing and decorating a Pudsey biscuit, yummy!

The Snowdrops have shown lots of interest in using their fingers to explore and make patterns in wet sensory textures. We used flour, cocoa powder and water to create edible mud for our farm animals! It was very messy fun but great to explore and play with.

The Snowdrops have enjoyed some firework themed activities this week. We made chocolate finger sparklers (yum), Skittles colour wheels, firework pictures using different materials to help us create firework shapes, tinfoil sparklers and a sensory light session which included watching a cbeebies firework show set to music – we twirled and waved our colourful streamers as the fireworks popped and whizzed!
The Snowdrops enjoyed a spooktacular day on Friday, filled with lots of Hallowe’en activities: We made pumpkin masks, played ghost ten pin bowling, enjoyed a spooky sensory story, did our class Hallowe’en parade and had a Hallowe’en snack. Phew!

The Snowdrops have all enjoyed exploring our Peter Rabbit story. We have had multi-sensory story sessions exploring different visual aids and sensory textures of garden related objects and vegetables. The Snowdrops have also been able to recognise key story pictures or visual aids when asked.

When the Snowdrops heard that Peter Rabbit had lost his carrots in the school garden, we had to go and see if we could help him find them. We walked and moved round the garden looking in lots of different places for the carrots. We had excellent looking skills and pointed when we spotted them. The children were very happy to find the carrots and return them to Peter back in the classroom.

The Snowdrops have been feeling windswept! We made windsocks and tested them out and watched their streamers blow about in the wind. We enjoyed feeling the wind on our faces and blow through our hair!

As part of our Peter Rabbit theme, the Snowdrops have been exploring the different types of vegetables that grew in Mr McGregor’s garden. Everyone has showed interest in listening to songs about vegetables and exploring the different textures of real vegetables. The Snowdrops have also been creative in making some fun veggie pals! We made confident choices of which vegetable we preferred and then picked colourful eyes, nose and mouth. Great work!
