This week in the 2’s we have had lots of fun exploring the outdoors while at the woods.
we have been exploring gloop in the sensory trays and loved feeling the texture while playing in it.
We have been making amazing pictures with paint sticks this week. Some of the children are starting to describe what they are drawing and tell an adult about it.
This week in the ECC the children have been talking lots about places they like to go and holidays, so we all worked together to create a seaside role play area, with an ice cream stall, sandy beach, and summer dressing up clothes and accessories.
We all enjoyed working together to make an large messy painting using cling film, the children watched as the colours changed when mixing them together.
We have also been developing our independence skills by serving and selecting our own snack while learning to make our own choices.
