🍂🍁Autumn Delights 🍂🍁


Here at BLS , as the season changes, our Milky Way children have been discovering Autumn. In our tuff tray, we explored soil and leaves, we made trees and hedgehogs with playdough and dry spaghetti and went on a local walk to collect leaves to create our own autumn tree. Some of the autumn leaves have fallen off the trees into our duck pond and we had lots of fun fishing them out!

‘Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree.’ - Emily Bronte

🎨Mark-making Exploration 🎨

Here at BLS , the Orion room have been focusing on and exploring mark-making using different mark-making resources. They explored using paint brushes, wooden hammer tools, cars, leaves and feet painting. This activity developed their gross and fine motor skills, they used different senses and talked about the marks they made, how colours change and what paint feels like on their feet!👨🏾‍🎨

🐼💜 Meet Boda the Panda 🐼💜

Transitions for children can be particularly traumatic and can often be triggers for challenging behaviours. These behaviours are a result of children feeling overwhelmed by the demands placed on them, and being unable to regulate their emotions due to increased stress.

We have had many children transitioning both internally and externally and to support their emotional well-being here at BLS , our Orion team introduced Boda the Panda. Boda the Panda came from our apprentice who placed herself in the position of understanding the children's behaviours and their ‘big emotions’. Boda the Panda is our new Orion mascot! Boda will help the Orion children to regulate their emotions and show them that it is okay to feel ‘big emotions’. When they feel sad, just give Boda a hug! Boda will be able to go on different adventures with the children as we encourage them to take Boda home in his rucksack and spend the weekend with them creating their own little adventure storybook.

📚Library Adventures 📚

Here at BLS , our Supernova children took a trip to our local library! We immersed ourselves in fairy tales, fact books and magical stories. The children had time to independently find their own books and we held our own story session to read a variety of books chosen by the children.
We look forward to regularly visiting the library and exposing ourselves to the awe and wonder that all these endless books can provide us with!

"You can find magic wherever you look. Sit back and relax, all you need is a book." - Dr Seuss

✨Sensory Hut: bubbles, glitter and lava lamps! ✨

Here at BLS , the Galaxy children have been enjoying our brand new sensory hut and enjoyed various activities such as:

💡Observing bubbles and fishes bob around in lava lamps
💡Shaking sensory balls, counting them, rolling them to one another and watching the colourful glitter move around
💡Playing peekaboo in the green waterfall lights
💡Exploring jelly noodles by shaking them and making them bounce
💡Taking off their shoes and walking on the textured tiles, where they used words such as “bumpy!”

🍃"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower." - Albert Camus 🍃

Here at BLS , we went out to explore the beautiful changing season and nature around us. Our little ones adored inspecting acorns, crunchy leaves and some of the wonderful parts of our surroundings that are so easy to ignore!

☕️☺️🧁Grandparents Tea Gathering ☕️☺️🧁

Here at BLS , we were delighted to host our annual Grandparents Tea for 2024. It was so lovely to see so many grandparents join their grandchildren for afternoon tea, fun-filled activities and we even had a dance!

“Grandparents are the perfect mix of wisdom, love, and a splash of magic.”

🍂🍃Autumn is in the Air 🍂🍃

Here at BLS , the children in Milky Way have spent the week exploring the change in seasons as we begin our journey into Autumn.
We have enjoyed using our senses to explore an apple pie sensory tray which consisted of grated apples, oats and cinnamon to awaken our sense of smell.
We also explored our texture tray filled with items we may see as we begin the season of harvest festivals. 🍎

🦎All Creatures Great and Small 🦎

Here at BLS , the children had the opportunity to meet some rather spectacular animals as part of a special extracurricular activity. The activity teaches the children to care for animals and sparks young children’s imaginations. Learning to care for animals and treat them with kindness is an experience that children can easily transfer to their relationships with other humans too – it helps to build empathy, understanding and respect for both their peers and adults.

🍇Healthy Eating 🍉

Through play-based food activities, we provide children with the opportunity to explore and learn about foods in an engaging way, separate from mealtimes. Food related games and activities are also a great way to expose our children to new foods in an encouraging way, especially for fussy eaters or children who are anxious about trying new foods. The Supernova children in Mill Hill were very proud to show their interpretations of their chosen foods! 🍎🍌🥝

🍩 Donuts and positive vibes! At our nursery, we celebrated by giving every team member a sweet treat in exchange for a positive affirmation. Because taking care of ourselves is just as important as taking care of others! 🌟

🎉🌈Milky Way's Carnival Party 🎉🌈

Here in Milky Way room at BLS , we hosted our very own carnival themed party for the babies to enjoy! We completely transformed our learning room using colourful toys, resources and textures to explore. For the centrepiece, we set out a colourful rice tuff tray which the babies got stuck straight into, discovering the different colours of the rainbow using their senses. Around our tuff tray, we placed rainbow shakers, sensory tiles, balloons, bubbles and many feathers in true carnival style. Over in the corner, we set out a refreshments station, which the babies visited to get some fresh water and fruits between partying! We ended up dancing the whole morning away together... What a wonderful time we had!

“Every child who constructs a house out of sticks or stones or blocks is an architect.”
🔨🏡👷🏾‍♀️

Here at BLS , the children had a wonderful time in the sunshine using their fine motor gross skills to participate in a fun building activity! Using wooden instruments and building blocks they made their own structures and objects and did so, brilliantly!

🖌🎨🖼Observational Drawing 🖌🎨🖼

Here at BLS , our Supernova children went on a local walk to partake in observational drawings. There is a lovely decking area near the nursery overlooking a pond, water fountain and trees. The children took their seats, had a look around to see what they would like to draw and began. They were very proud to show us what they had created and we thought they were just beautiful! The children drew the ducks in the pond, flowers, the apartment building and a spider web!

"Creativity is contagious, pass it on." - Albert Einstein.

🐴🐕 Farm Visits 🐴🐕

Here at BLS , a farm came to visit us in our own car park! At first, the farmer spoke to the children about what goes on around the farm and what each of the animals do. The children then got to meet all the animals, interact with them and even got to feed the sheep, goats and donkeys and brush their fur. The children loved playing with the dogs and meeting the ducks and rabbits as well!

“Animals are simply magical creatures, and they can teach us more than we can ever teach them.” - Anthony D. Williams

🚗🛣 Road Safety 🚗🛣

Here at BLS , the children explored the topic of road safety and the different types of transport that we use around the city. As a lot of our children walk or use public transport to get to nursery, exploring this topic was vital to ensure that children feel confident in manoeuvring around with competence and ease!
We participated in a range of activities that the children dived into, from a makeshift cardboard train to making our own traffic lights. To encourage our understanding of the importance of road safety, the children sang,…“Twinkle twinkle traffic light round the corner shining bright, red means stop, green means go, yellow means very very slow.”🚦

☺️😖Emotional Regulation ☺️😖

Here at BLS , our Supernova children have been enhancing their knowledge and skills around emotional regulation. Our school leavers and pre-entry children have been discussing their feelings towards transitional changes, such as starting 'big school' and moving into the preschool room.
We have supported the children with gaining knowledge around different types of emotions, based on life experiences by introducing them to our new feeling friends, such as our 'Feeling Monsters' and ‘Purple'. These types of experiences have enabled our children to feel secure sharing their feelings confidently and freely with others.
The children have also developed new skills to further express their emotions by drawing picture images which reflect the emotions we experience when faced with life challenges. We had interesting comments from the children when reflecting on our emotional images such as:
“I am feeling calm because I like Supernova."
“I am feeling all the feelings because I love big school."
“I am happy because my grandparents are picking me up from school."
“I am happy because there are lots of cars at school.”
Creating an enabling emotional environment provides children with the knowledge and skills they will need for future life experiences as they grow, learn, and develop.

🐟🐬Under the Sea🐟🐬

Here at BLS , our little Galaxy explorers have had a wonderful time learning about the topic, under the sea, creating their very own sea life pictures, working together to create their masterpieces and recognising all the different sea creatures! Whilst learning how to care for our aquatic animals, they also explored their senses with a range of different activities and looked at where the different sea creatures live in our oceans!

🏕🔥Here at BLS , the Orion room have been experiencing different types of holidays from last month’s beach holiday to this month’s camping trip. The children have been very lucky to explore their very own forest! They have been learning how to camp using pots and fire to cook their food and have loved resting in the tent. The children have also used magnifying glasses to look for insects in the soil! Our little explorers adored this activity and we loved seeing them engage fully in it! 🏕🔥
