Toddlers:

Last week in the toddler room, we spoke about all our wonderful dads. We asked the children what nice things we can do for them, and they told us to ‘tidy up’, ‘play with them’, and ‘give a hug’.

We made some lovely cards, which they were all excited to take home with them 🩷

This week, we will talk about different jobs and careers.

Have a lovely weekend 🙂

Preschool:

Last week in the Preschool room, we continued our sports theme. We took part in different sports stations and had lots of fun making some goofy American footballs. The children also brought in different balls from home, and we discussed the sports that they are used for. 😊

This week we will be concentrating on our Graduation and making the final preparations for the big day. ❤️

Toddlers:

Last week in the toddler room we learned all about camping.

We made our own campfires by first creating handprints and then painting the wood at the bottom to complete our artwork. We had great fun crawling in and out of our tent and talking about what we need to bring on a camping trip, such as a sleeping bag, torch, and picnic basket.

We also danced around the room, performing different actions to the story We're Going on a Bear Hunt 🐻.

This week we will be talking about Father's Day and all the nice things we can do for our fantastic dads. 😀

Babies:

Last week in the baby room we were learning all about camping. We started the week by painting our handprints to look like a campfire. We also glued some lollipop sticks on for the wood of the fire. We also sang some campfire songs at circle time. Lastly, we played in our tent, role-playing camping scenarios such as sleeping and hearing noises outside the tent.

This week we are learning all about the colour yellow and bees.

Preschool:

Last week in Preschool we learned about NUMBERS! 🔢 We counted different things around the classroom, we painted some, traced, and made numbers out of play dough. We also enjoyed some water and ice play among other things. For our next topic we are learning about SPORTS 🏀⚽️

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Babies:

Last week we were learning all about summer time here in the baby room. We started the week playing outside with water sensory trays, we played with sea themed sensory trays role playing the beach. The babies loved exploring this tray using buckets and spoons to collect and pour the water. We also sang some summer songs at circle time like “Mr sun”and “The seasons song.” Lastly we painted some suns to display around our room. We will continue to explore the theme of summer 🌞
