🎃 🎃 Painting pumpkins 🎃 🎃
Our children in the hive have loved painting pumpkins using their hands to print the pumpkin shape, adding dots for eyes and a green stalk. The children were all so proud of their creations. ☺️

Today In Ryandale Hive we made cupcakes, it was a fun hands-on activity that supports a range of learning and development. We did great pouring, mixing, stirring and decorating.
Through the activity, we develop our fine motor skills by holding spoons, pouring ingredients, stirring the mixture and using their fingers to decorate the cupcakes. It also supports hand-eye coordination and helps strengthen the small muscles in their hands.

This activity also supports language and communication skills by learning and using words such as “mix,” “pour,” “flour,” “sugar,” “bake” and “cupcake.” We enjoyed talking about how we make the cakes.

The children have been practicing their mark making skills in different ways. We have used pencils, crazy foam, flour and paint sticks. They have been exploring different textures describing what they feel like. We have enjoyed tasting different fruits and they even got to squeeze out the juice. We have had lots of outdoor play further developing our physical skills moving in different ways. We have also been recognising numbers and shapes during outdoor activities.

Today the children took part in an activity to recognise different shapes. We spoke about the different shapes we could see during the activity. The children worked on their hand eye coordination using the paint dabbers to create each shape, following the lines. The children have been showing lots of interest in dressing up and using their physical skills on the stepping stones.

The children have enjoyed lots of outdoor play, exploring building and balancing, role play using different props and physical skills.
The children demonstrated great strength using the climbing wall and working together to build and balance using the mega blocks. We were recognising numbers and shapes on the playground. The children were showing great physical skills moving in different ways, running, climbing, hopping and skipping using the hula hoops.
