We have had lots of spooky Halloween fun this week in ELC.  There has been Covid friendly apple doukin’, a spooky photobooth, pumpkin playdough and lots of fun art and craft activities for us to practice using a paint brush, glue and scissors. We loved dressing up and going to look at all the decorated pumpkins in school. If you want to try making playdough at home, we have included our recipe in the blog photos below.

We were all very excited when our new construction bricks arrived. The boys and girls were very helpful when they helped to unpack the bricks. They have had lots of fun using their imagination and sharing ideas when they have been building with them.

One group were inspired, through their play, to make a police car. They showed great curiosity, teamwork and problem solving when they worked together to make the car from a big box. They then chose and talked about police stories, to link their learning and develop early literacy skills.

A lot of the boys and girls have enjoyed sharing stories and developing their early literacy skills in our cosy reading area this week . Our Costa Coffee role play area is also very popular and provides a great context for children to build their confidence, creativity and to develop their vocabulary.

Please feel free to comment on our blog each week, we love to see your feedback.
