We read the story of Elmer 🐘 and discussed the theme of friendship, exploring how we can all look different from our friends.
After the story, we talked about the different colours and then created colourful sticking pictures using lots of different coloured pieces of paper.
Everyone did a great job spreading the glue by themselves and decorating their Elmer pictures. Well done everyone!

~Our Egg Hatching Process~ 🥚🐣

Observing chick eggs hatch has been an absolutely enchanting and unforgettable experience for the children. Right from the moment the eggs arrived, the room was buzzing with curiosity and excitement as the children began their fascinating journey into understanding the life cycle of a chick.

We began by gently placing the eggs into an incubator, explaining how it keeps them warm and safe—much like a mother hen would. Each day, the children took turns observing the eggs, learning about the importance of patience and gentle care. We discussed what might be happening inside the eggs.

As the days went by, anticipation built up. And then came the most thrilling moment—tiny cracks started to appear! The children watched in awe as the chicks slowly chipped their way out of the shells, a process known as hatching. We talked about how this can take time and why it’s crucial to let the chicks do it themselves.

Seeing the chicks emerge, wet and tired, before fluffing up into soft bundles, was a wonderful opportunity to discuss growth and change. The children showed remarkable care and empathy, learning how to keep the chicks warm, quiet, and safe as they rested.

This experience supported many areas of learning—from understanding the natural world and life cycles to developing language, patience, and a sense of responsibility. Most importantly, it created a sense of wonder that the children will treasure for a long time.

A truly special journey from egg to chick

Today, the children thoroughly enjoyed playing with the splashing sprinkler pad 💦 to cool down in the hot weather. They experimented by pressing down on individual sprinkler holes with their thumbs, cleverly redirecting the water flow. This activity not only kept them cool but also encouraged their curiosity and problem-solving skills.

Tea Station ☕️☕️☕️

A tea station was set up for the children to explore with a variety of different tea pots, cups and saucers.

Different types of loose tea were provided and the children had a sensory experience smelling the tea and mixing them with water, milk and sugar discussing the change in consistency, colour and smell.

Team work was shred for hand-eye co-ordination as the children held cups for each other to steady them and made tea for each other.

🌷 The perfect activity to get the little ones out in nature and spark their creativity!

The children used a pincer grasp (thumb and index finger) to pick up the fragile flower stems and the sticky tape, and they used both hands together in a coordinated way—one hand holding the flower steady while the other applied the tape. They explored textures by touching sticky tape, smooth paper, and soft, fragile petals.
