🌈 M&M Rainbow Science Experiment 🌈

Today, the children enjoyed a colourful M&M Rainbow Science Experiment.🌈

The children placed colourful M&M’s around the edge of a plate and carefully added warm water. They watched with excitement as the colours slowly dissolved and travelled across the plate, creating a beautiful rainbow pattern.

This simple experiment encouraged the children to explore colour recognition, observation, prediction, and early science concepts while learning through hands-on play. 🌈

It was a fun and magical learning experience.😊

Today, Miss R prepared a lovely breakfast for the baby toy and made sure everything was ready before helping the baby get settled and ready to eat. She then gave the baby some bread and stayed close by to make sure the baby was comfortable and enjoying the meal.

Blue and Pink Magic Sand Sensory Play

Children made different shapes using blue and pink sand. They enjoyed pressing the sand and using moulds to make shapes. This activity helped develop the children's fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.

Group Time – Dental Health Week: "Why Should I Brush My Teeth?" 🦷🪥

Today during group time, the children enjoyed reading the story "Why Should I Brush My Teeth?" We talked about why brushing our teeth every morning and night is important. The children learned that brushing helps keep their teeth clean and strong, removes germs, prevents cavities, and keeps their smiles healthy.

The children actively joined the discussion by answering questions, looking at the pictures, and sharing what they already knew about brushing their teeth. This story encouraged healthy habits in a fun and engaging way while building listening, language, and early literacy skills. 😁🪥

Learning Outcomes:
🦷 Understanding the importance of oral hygiene.
📖 Developing listening and communication skills.
💬 Building vocabulary through group discussion.
😊 Encouraging healthy daily routines.

🦷🍎Healthy and Unhealthy Foods for Teeth 🦷🍎

Today, the children enjoyed a fun and interactive Healthy and Unhealthy Foods for Teeth sorting activity. They explored different food pictures and sorted them onto the happy tooth (healthy foods) or the sad tooth (unhealthy foods). This hands-on experience helped children understand which foods keep our teeth strong and healthy and which foods should only be eaten occasionally.

This activity supported:
🦷 Understanding healthy eating habits.
🍎 Recognising healthy and unhealthy foods.
🧠 Developing sorting and decision-making skills.
🗣️ Building vocabulary and communication through discussion.
