Kellys Childminding Astley

The last 2 weeks of our play. The children have engaged in lots of role play at the moment showing their communication skills and imagination throughout their play, we have enjoyed days out to parks and playgroups with our friends 😊

This week we have been doing activities around st Patrick's day and today we have had some crafts around red nose day. We have enjoyed the sun shining on us at the park and farm this week too! 😃

This week has been a cold and windy one. So we have mainly been indoors. We have been doing lots of phonics with the older ones and we have looked at number recognitions with out 2/3 year olds, as well as making a little something for our mummy's. We enjoyed visits to playgroups and parks too 😊

And the last of our world book day for the week was the runaway pea! A super fun story! 😊

Today's book "the wonky donkey, heehaw" followed by a craft. We also had a visit to Barton airport which was very busy with planes and helicopters 🛩️🚁😍

Our book of the day never touch the wild animals. Followed by a snake craft and a big play at Walton hall gardens 😊

Today we had a book about Alfie and dad. So we made our own dad's a nice little love heart. We also enjoyed playgroup this morning and outside play this afternoon 😊

Playgroup today with some lovely daffodils paintings and it's world book day this week so each child is bringing in their favourite book. Today we had roar roar roaring followed by a craft of our favourite animal from the book 😊

This week we have covered the last of our Chinese New year topic, whilst we have been to visit playgroup, the park, Dunham Massey and Bents garden centre 😊 this week we also have a walker outdoors now (not just in) and someone learnt how to put their own coat on whilst another did their zip up ☺️ super proud childminder of my little ones

The last few weeks we have themed our learning around children's mental health, valentine's and Chinese new year's. We have been doing lots of role play and build with different materials!
We also welcomed some of our not so little ones back for the half term holidays 😀

3 weeks into January and we have had so many learning opportunities. We have had a child extend their knowledge of sight words, a child who can now recognise his own name and has also started to write some letters of their name. We have a child who can now recognise some numerals and the odd letter. And a child who can now count to 15 and ride a bike 😊 and we can't forget about our little one who can now walk with confidence, all whilst learning about winter, the arctic and this week about garden birds. ❄️🐦‍⬛
