What have we been up to this month?

Babies

For Soccer Aid this year the babies went out into the veg patch garden to kick and chase after the footballs, they also tried to score some goals! They had lots of fun with their friends and loved kicking the balls around.

Babies were busy making their Father’s Day cards this month, they put a lot of love and effort into their cards and a few squiggles as well.

The babies took another trip out to the veg patch garden but this time they helped water the plants in between play time.

The babies had a lovely sandy time with their sand pit. They used vehicles, spades and other items to create marks in the sand.

Toddlers

Toddlers had a rainbow gloop activity and used tweezers to pick coloured matchsticks from the gloop.

They made some shortbread biscuits with their friends and helped to pour, mix, roll and use the cookie cutters to make the circles.

The Rainbow fish was one of the books of the week this month and so toddlers decorated their own fish using glue and tissue paper, creating some beautiful scales.

For Soccer Aid this year, toddlers took part in a penalty shootout. Everyone enjoyed taking it in turns to score a goal and especially loved being able to dress in their football kit.

Pre-School

Pre-school set up an ice cream station this month using play dough as their ice cream and paper confetti as the sprinkles, they looked good enough to eat.

The children were very helpful and set up a car wash in the car park. The cars were very clean as the children each took responsibility for a part of each car.

The pre-schoolers had a special visit this month from Colin the caterpillar, but he needed some help putting himself back together. Luckily, the pre-schoolers were there to help put him back together again and in the right order.

Carrying on the caterpillar theme, pre-school learnt about the life cycle of a butterfly and with the help of their book ‘the hungry caterpillar’, they managed to put all the stages of the life cycle into the correct order.

The children have loved learning about the caterpillars and watching them as they emerged as beautiful butterflies. They were very excited to release them and see them fly away (eventually).

Reminder:

A reminder to please bring in a hat and suncream for your child and make sure these are labelled. If you are unsure how much suncream your child has at nursery then please check with someone in your child’s room.
