Project Teddy Bear

Since August the children have been collaborating on a project… making their very own Blue group teddy bear.

Children have all taken a role, either big or small, whatever they have been interested in doing.

Some children have decorated a patch of the teddy bears material, some have stitched these patches together, some stuffed the teddy bear and some children have even used the sewing machine to make bags and pillows for the teddy.

This has instilled a feeling of accomplishment and ownership in the children as they have thoroughly enjoyed creating and playing with all four of the groups bears.

We are now in the process of voting for our bear…

I wonder if little bear will be named

Pepi, Bluebell or Percy? 🐻🧸

 

Fine Motor

During nurture time, the blue group children have been developing their fine motor skills, this supports the holding of a pencil during mark making and early writing activities. We have been doing activities such as making shapes with elastic bands on the geo boards and making patterns with the pegs on the peg boards.
