We are exploring Ten in the Bed for our story of the moment. We are using our number and counting skills to count how many animals are left in the bed, practicing counting backwards from 10. R said “let’s do 11 animals now” as we added animals on.

Today some children took part in an outdoor walk around the school grounds. In honour of burns day and carrying on the interest of the child, which is different animal prints, we began looking for the Loch Ness monster prints! The children were very engaged and were so focused on their task🪾

Outdoors, some children are loving the mud kitchen/water area. I provided some fun and messy resources to make some “potions”, the children also gathered some natural resources. They turned out amazing! What a fun and messy way to promote creativity, fine and gross motor and problem solving🧪💧✨🍁

Shapes and patterns have taken over the craft area! Using children’s current interest I created some different activities for the children to take part in that encouraged fine motor, mathematical language, shape, size and measure📏⭐️

Yesterday the children helped to make Swiss roll for our pudding at lunch time today.
We had to measure, weigh, pour and mix, exploring our mathematical skills, early language and fine motor motor skills. 🍥

To allow children to become more familiar with different types of text/print, we added more recipe books, lists, menus and receipts at mealtimes area. A few children particularly have shown a deep interest in this and have therefore progressed to created their own recipe and shopping list/receipts.

Some amazing firework pictures were made today. We used some straws stuck together to create our masterpieces. What a fun and creative time we all had🎆🖌️

The boys and girls at craft were very busy making their playdough bonfires. We had lots of discussions around fire safety and what to do to keep us safe. This was also a fun activity to practice fine motor, language, co-ordination and colour. How amazing!🔥🎆

Today at craft I provided some multicoloured paper and glitter for some finger mark making. The children were encouraged to use their finger to create their own firework shapes. This helps develop fine motor skills, imagination and colour recognition as well as having fun getting messy with glitter✨
