The children have loved doing a range of different Easter themed activities the last few weeks in the lead up to Easter, including a big group Easter egg hunt to search for little eggs inside, under and on top of things🐇🥚🪹
They explored an Easter themed messy play tray, filled with colourful noodles, rice, tissue paper and other craft bits. We learnt about the different textures, discussing what felt soft, hard, wet etc🌸🎀
We’ve been doing some Easter crafts, making bunny masks and Easter decorations, working on their tripod grips as they used pens to mark-make. We had conversations about new life around this time of year, expanding their knowledge on the life cycles of chickens, ducks and rabbits🐇🐣🦆
During group times, we have been reading some Easter stories, learning how Easter celebrations began. The children have been able to recall parts of the Easter story, using key words such as Jesus, cross and reborn📚
All the children have made their own chocolate Easter nest cakes, where they helped to mix the ingredients and measure out how much we needed. We counted how many scoops of mixture we needed to fill up each cake case. We spoke about bird nests and how they use them to keep their eggs safe🪺
Thank you for our lovely Easter gifts and we hope you all have a lovely Easter weekend!!💙
