This week is all about looking after ourselves, healthy eating and cleaning our teeth…our activities included cleaning our teeth, playdough with fruit cutters, making playdough cakes and decorated them. Healthy eating pairs game lots of discussion about different and our favorite fruit and vegetables.
The role play is the fruit and vegetable shop in the classroom, on the decking the home corner is now situated.
Our children also enjoyed the craft area for box modeling and construction area using assortment of brio bricks, interlocking blocks, 3D wooden blocks and stickle bricks.
Stories were the children’s choice from their book area.

A peek into Springtime…This week we continued with our topic, All About Me...😃
We talked about our feelings and emotions, what makes us feel happy or sad.
The children’s self-portraits are up on display along with my favourite foods and individual discussion sheets- what I like/what I don’t like...
We enjoyed our outdoor space this week running, balancing, climbing, throwing, kicking and catching using stilts, hoops, cones, bats and balls.
Some of our other activities involved practicing cutting skills, pencil control and playing with foam, craft table and we used playdough with wool, buttons, googly eyes to make faces.

This week….24th February 2023
Lots of discussion this week at Springtime. At group time, we talked about pancakes, ingredients, lemon, syrup, and sugar toppings and got to try them. We also discussed how we used all our senses today -smell, taste, seeing, feel and hearing.
The children enjoyed group snacks and we had pancakes with our fruit.
They had a go at tossing a real pancake in a small frying pan.(cold)
We used the left-over lemons to print using yellow paint.
Talked about how we must clean our teeth after eating sugary foods. Which lead the children to talking about their experiences when visiting the dentist…all positive!!
We learnt a new rhyme about making a pancake, cooking the pancake, tossing the pancake, catch it …if you can.
We coloured pictures of pancakes stacked high and a person tossing a pancake in a pan.
