Hello everyone, we hope you have had a great week, here is a snapshot of what we have been up to……

 

We had a lovely day on Monday in the sunshine where children explored target practice and role play. We discovered a bumble bee in the garden and children sustained an interest where they role played being bumble bees where they each had their own bee jobs. We had worker bees, stinger bees and even a queen bee who had to taste test all the honey before it was transported to other locations.🐝

Children discovered a little field mouse had come to say hello at the fence, we discussed how we could make sure he felt safe and where he might have come from.🐭

Alex and Leo were researching monster trucks for Alex to copy. Alex persevered and could draw his own one without any help. Alex then shared his skills with Leo by helping him with his own creations.🚚

The children have sustained an interest in music and bands as Sophie and Charlotte created their own drum sets as they sang along to a tune they created. Fraser was also exploring using a drum set he made after joining this weeks peep session which was based around making instruments. From this, we have decided that our next learning wall will be on music! 🥁 🎤 🎶

At the forest, we explored more small world play as we created our own dinosaur world inspired by Eli. We foraged for different resources such as sticks, leaves and pine cones. The children worked together to set up the area how they wanted🐉. Some other children explored a fallen down tree and made their own bug hotel in the roots using sticks.🐛

Children created their own camp. They used loose parts to make a fire, a camp bed and a breakfast area. The children then continued this interest the next day, encouraging others to join.⛺

Happy birthday to Timothy who was 5 on Thursday, thank you for the sweets! Timothy was able to make cupcakes for afternoon snack with some peers😁🎈🎂
