This week we have been talking and looking at each other's feelings and emotions. We have spoken lots about how certain things can make us and our friends feel.
We have enjoyed lots of different Valentines ❤️sensory play and creative activities using different tools and resources working on our fine motor skills through mark making and filling and emptying containers using pipettes and cups, as well as a few favourites such as the small world toys. We have not let the wet weather stop us from enjoying the outdoors either during Forest School, we have enjoyed painting 'Friendship rocks' and making 'Love Heart Wands' and pictures with charcoal, painting using some coloured ice and creating our own 'Love Potions' and generally getting messy 😁!

This week we have been looking at 'Winter'. We have spoken about the weather and what we may do and wear when it is cold and wet as well as icy and snowing.

We have enjoyed some lovely activities involving being creative and decorating our own wooly hat pictures and snowflakes, counting out how many pom pom's we need on the gloves and creating our own wintery scenes using the play-dough and the animals we may find in colder climates. We have also adapted these activities to meet children's interests to help with their next steps. We have shared some wintery stories and the children have had a go at creating their own. During Forest school we have helped feed the birds making bird feeders and made our own binoculars to see if we can spot any.

Big Welcome back to you all and our new families joining us this term.

This week we have been looking at 'all about me' creating our own personal portraits and talking about our individual differences. We have been looking at what new skills the children have learnt over the Christmas break and what new interest they have and how we can support their next steps.
It has been lovely to see how well they have all settled back and got straight back into investigating and creating together.
