This week is also road safety week! ⛔️🚗

The little apples have enjoyed a range of learning experiences to build upon their knowledge of the green cross code! We have made traffic lights using paper plates, paint, loose parts & tape.

Yesterday some of us went a walk around the local area and put our knowledge of the green cross code into practice. The boys and girls walked carefully along the roads, holding their key workers hand and waiting for the green man at the lights. We even stopped by the library where we found lots of story books based on road safety! Well done little apples 🍏💚

During morning welcome time, we have continued to discuss the changes to our environment now that its Autumn. We have discussed weather changes, getting dark earlier and the stars & moon in the sky. Our little apples were introduced to a world famous painting ”The Starry night” by Vincent Van Gogh 🌌

Last week, the boys and girls got creative trying to recreate this famous painting using a variety of different colours and materials to do so 🎨 We also took a trip down to the local library to see if we could find any story books based on moon & stars ⭐️🍏

A busy week for our Little Apples!

This week we have been learning all about bonfire night & fire safety! 🔥

During welcome time, we have been discussing who Guy Fawkes is and all about the life he lived 👨🏻 We’ve been enjoying a new story this week called ”Georges dragon at the fire station” which gave us more of an understanding of the importance of fire safety 😃 We have took part in role play as fire fighters, dressing up and pretending to put out fires as well as working as a team to build mini bonfires in our outdoor garden 🧑🏽‍🚒 We’ve also took part in lots of fun arts and crafts learning experiences, making fireworks with salt and food colouring and bonfires with coloured play dough! 🖍🎨🎆

Hope you all have a lovely weekend and stay safe 🍏💚

It was a busy morning for our little seedlings with loads of fun exploring our Autumn tuff tray,
We promoted sensory skills, hand eye coordination, fine motor skills and social interaction while becoming familiar with all the Autumn colours 🍁

Some of the children from our Little Blossom room went on an adventure to the play park and as you can tell by the pictures the had the best time!!
As well as all the benefits from being out in the fresh air, this helped develop the large/gross motor skills, they explored and problem solved by figuring out how to work resources, the listened to thieir ladies to keep safe, they risk assessed their own ability by climbing and that’s just some of the learning outcomes a child promotes all the while having great fun socially participating with friends on a trip to the park 🍏🍏🍏

As our little apples have been learning all about hibernation this week, we worked together as a team to collect lots of leaves and sticks to create a home in the garden for the animals 🦔🍁

This afternoon we put a little treat for the birds out in our garden! Our boys and girls love animals and nature and cant wait to see if we have any visitors when we‘re out playing 🐦🍏

Within our 3-5 room we are always developing areas, to allow each child to reach their potential each child is involved, this can be through consultation, sharing ideas and interests, our priority is to have all our children at the centre...
Helen has been developing a real construction area and today’s first lesson before the learning progresses is all about keeping Safe, the children were encouraged to wear safety protection and allow helen to support them.
Every day as our little apples grow and grow in confidence the staff become more proud,
Watch this space..... let’s see what we get up to in our 🍏Workshop
