During space week the Ladybirds had some fun collaging earth. The children were given some round paper and coloured bits of tissue paper to use to collage with and they were all so engaged as they carefully picked up each piece of tissue paper to place it on their paper.

As they did this we talked about what different colours earth has, such as blue, green and white. They loved showing off their their art work once they had finished!

We had a fantastic time at our own Notting Hill Carnival last week! We started off decorating our Carnival themed banner. On the banner was lots of items that we had been learning about all week like instruments, masks, headdresses and delicous drinks.

After counting how many different things from Nottinghill Carnival we could find we sat down to paint the banner together. The Grasshoppers were brilliant at holding the paint brush, colouring within the shapes and working together to ensure all elements were painted.

This week the Ladybirds got involved in an activity painting some strawberries! They loved getting messy using their hands and the paint brushes to decorate their strawberries.

The Bumblebees and Caterpillars have been looking at the colour monster recently. They first looked at what feeling each colour represented before discussing how we might feel with each emotion, and why we might feel that way.

They then used coloured tissue paper or playdough to fill the jars with each emotion.

During our week all about food the Ladybirds enjoyed this messy sensory activity!! The tray had coloured oats with lots of coloured foods, plates and cutlery. The children had lots of fun scooping oats onto their plates and pretending to eat it, before pouring it back out again.

As well as being great fun, this activity helped develop their hand eye coordination and cause and effect.

Whilst discussing people who help us recently, the Grasshoppers explored a sensory/messy tray of a city landscape in need of help. As the children helped save the civilians in the city we discussed what we might do if we were in need of help as well as what superhero we would call to help us the most in different situations like being stuck on a tall building, stuck in water or lost in a desert.

The grasshoppers had so much fun exploring this tray and felt full of accomplishment when they had saved all the people in need of help.

The bumblebees and caterpillars spent some time looking at how to look after their pets. They helped to make sure the pets were nice and clean using water and paint brushes to clean them. They feed them some very yummy food and then took the animals for a walk.

It was a great activity to enable the children to start thinking about and learning about looking after others.

This week in Grasshoppers we have been learning about all things Minibeasts. For this activity we used playdoh and all our special minibeast toys to see what their bodys would look like pressed against the playdoh.

We enjoyed the textures in our hands as it felt cold and squishy and we loved seeing what patterns the Minibeasts made.

Some us even used our free will to make Centipedes or caterpillars by making lots of little balls out of playdoh and putting them all together.

This activity encouraged a lot of communication between the group as they all wanted to show off the amazing patterns and shapes they had made by imprinting.

The bumblebees and caterpillars have been looking at all things summer. And where better to spend summer than at the beach.

The children explored a beach themed sensory tray with flour and oil to make a crumbly sand texture, cornflour water and shaving foam to create a slime like texture for the ocean, multi grain hoops as some pebbles and some painted rice krispies for a path leading down the beach to our amazing ice cream shop. The children loved flilling up the cones with the sand and cereal and adding a scoop of ice cream onto to make it that little bit extra special.

During the activity we discussed what things we might wear to the beach and the children came up with some amazing ideas. Crocs, sandals, hat, shorts, swimming costume, sunglasses and suncream. Someone even said to wear arm bands!
