Tuesday 27th February
Today we had a nice walk down to the toy shop to explore all the different toys, teddies, books etc. The children really enjoy this experience and showed really good listening by putting all the toys back on the shelves when asked
Continuous provision😁
Wednesday 28th February
Today we enjoyed making ice creams using whipped cream, wafer cones and spoons, as you can see the children really enjoyed tasting this
The showed good control using spoons to scoop up the cream and put it in their cones.
In the afternoon we enjoyed hiding buttons inside playdough for the children to find, they identified the different colours and shapes of the buttons once they had found them this develops fine motor skills and challenges the children to use small movements using their finger and thumb.
Thursday 29th February
Today we enjoyed making marks in the sand, we used the photos of different marks to encourage the children to copy the marks. They showed good confidence in trying this and was keen to show off their marks
In the afternoon we had water play with sea animals and seaweed. We included frozen fish ice cubes which the children loved! They used their fishing nets to scoop up and catch the different sea animals.
Imaginative play😊
The children are really developing their imaginative play and starting to form strong friendships with each other. We used the inflatable animal head bands to pretend we was at the zoo. The children each picked their own animal. As you can see from the photos the children thoroughly enjoyed this
Friday 1st March
Today we made Banana cupcakes with Jayne, which the children had for their afternoon snacks. They enjoyed mixing and counting out the ingredients with Jayne
The children enjoy roleplaying to be zombies, they like to pretend to eat the staff, chase us and turn us all into big zombies
