The sunflowers class were being confident individuals as they enjoyed actively participating in our morning group song ‘Down in the Jungle’. We all enjoyed copying the actions for each animal and making jungle sounds with our instruments.

As part of our Global Goal this term, we decided to use outdoor natural resources to make a sensory board that we could use in our classroom. We worked as a team to collect a variety of items from the sensory garden and decorated the board with a variety of natural resources. The board matches our Jungle theme and allows us to explore the senses smell, touch, hear and see.

Scented Snakes
This week the sunflowers class have been enjoying sensory play activities together. We enjoyed making scented play dough and used it to make a jungle snake.
Messy Play
During Messy play , we shared our jungle animals and played with them in foam, silly string, glitter and dough. We looked at all of the different colours and sizes of the animals and enjoyed moving them around the tray together. The animals made lovely footprints. We love to learn by being creative!

Theme IDL/Numeracy – The Jungle
This week, we have been successful learners and confident individuals in our numeracy work. We have been finding the jungle animals in the rice and putting them in order of size. We have also enjoyed listening to a story about ‘Ronald the Rhino’ and his trip to the Jungle. The Sunflowers have used pompoms and playdough to put the correct number of muddy spots on Ronald’s back. We also coloured pictures of each animal and enjoyed some messy jungle play.
Our class also enjoyed working on matching patterns and colours and making our own shapes.
Happy Holidays!

Sunflowers -Welcome Back!
The Sunflower Class have loved being back at school and have settled in so well.
This term our theme is ‘The Jungle’. We have loved playing in our jungle sensory corner and feeding our jungle monkey banana’s.
During our outdoor time, we have been collecting leaves and have used crayons to complete a leaf rubbing activity.
We also enjoyed making snakes for our jungle wall and really scary lions! We even helped the animals find their tools and food!
Hi everyone.
So this is week 3 of the 30 Days Wild challenge. I hope you have been getting involved. Here is the video.
This week we thought you could have fun playing a game of balloon tennis with the family. Blow up a balloon and you can hit to each other with your hand, use a racquet or make your own with a paper plate.
Do you have jigsaws at home? Try and see if you can complete one. All the ladies had fun completing them at home.
We know that we all love cooking, so why not help to bake or make a tasty treat. The Sunflower ladies are very talented and made different cakes.
And finally we thought you could get a little messy and have fun. Use shaving foam to do some mark making. We had lots of fun writing letters and even a little message for you all.
