Little Diamondz

What a lovely day at tropical world. A butterfly landed on Gemmas hand. We enjoyed looking at all the animals and minibeasts.
Lots of lovely new vocabulary moments.
Children were able to share their own experiences
Learn about our world and keeping safe out and about
Lots of math opportunities, sizes and capacity

Love our new water wall 😍

Bee jelly fun 🐝 🍯

The very hungry caterpillar🐛🦋
Our focus book and one of our favourite books.
We read the book over and over so the children can get used to the story and be able to retell.
We read using the book
We read along with the toni box
Use props to retell the story
Use story cards to put the story in order

Children really enjoyed retelling the story together and listening to the story on the toni box

Train track play all morning

Gemma and I have a love/hate relationship with the train track. It learns children so much especially resilience. Even me and gemma. As it gets knocked all the time and breaks. We model breathing in and out as we get every frustrated with the amounts of time we fix it back together 😂

Shaving foam fun
Some children like using their hands and other don't and that is OK. The outcome is the same.
Making marks intentionally
Express ideas and feelings through making marks
Give meaning to marks
Using large muscle movements
Experiment with their own marks
Explore painting using fingers and tools....so many more all the beginning for writing.

We found him.
Did you?

Great news Mr Snail is OK and he left us a note...

Can you help find him?

🆘️we had an emergency this week🆘️

While we were tidying up we found a headless snail(a laminated snail). We searched for his head. We found it, we rushed him to the snail hospital. Doctor Kayleigh fixed his head back on and bandaged it up.
The children helped make his bed to lay him down so he could rest.
We all sat down and made him a get well soon card.

We have really enjoyed using our new stepping stones and planks. Built by jason (thank you very much)
