Happy Chilly Friday ๐Ÿ

22/10/2021

What better way to start the week then exploring all the different types of pasta ๐Ÿ in the world. They have made musical ๐ŸŽต bottles and painting with different shaped pasta. They then learned about pumpkins ๐ŸŽƒ and explored the textures. Painting the pumpkin and using them to create different shapes ๐Ÿ”บ. To finish our amazing learning week the children the celebrated national writing โœ๏ธ day. Practicing our beautiful writing.

Today the children have enjoyed pasta day! ๐Ÿ˜‹

They have made pasta sensory bottles using lots of different colours and shapes of pasta. They used their hands ๐Ÿ™Œ and spoons ๐Ÿฅ„ to fill up the bottles and then added different objects that began with the letter P. Afterwards they started to shake them to make lots of different sounds and sang there favourite nursery rhymes.๐ŸŽค

Some of the preschoolers used the phonics area to create letters ๐Ÿ”กout of pasta and identified what letters they created. Whilst the toddlers enjoyed pretending to make lots of yummy food for us to eat!๐Ÿ˜‹

You probably wouldn’t want to eat these Jack O’Lanterns, since they’ve been carved and sitting out. But this variety of pumpkin is perfectly edible and nutritious.

Today is national pumpkin ๐ŸŽƒday

We have had lots of fun today ๐Ÿ˜„ joining in with lots of pumpkin ๐ŸŽƒactivities for National Pumpkin Day.

We worked as a team to carve our own pumpkins, we had to decide what face we wanted and with a little bit of help from an adult we carefully carved out our face ๐Ÿ˜ the insides were gooey and squelchy.

Then we had lots of fun making our own pumpkin biscuits ๐Ÿช . We used orange ๐ŸŸ  icing to make it the same colour as a pumpkin, then we used sprinkles ๐Ÿ”ด๐ŸŸฃ๐ŸŸขand chocolate ๐Ÿซchips to make our pumpkin faces.

We had lots of fun joining in with pumpkin printing ๐Ÿ–Œ๏ธ๐ŸŽจwith paint. We used lots of different pumpkin shapes ๐Ÿ”ท๐ŸŸฅ๐ŸŸขand lots of different colours.

We enjoyed playing pumpkin bingo with our friends, we even had a turn at calling our the numbers ๐Ÿ”ข for our friends. BINGO!!!!

We then played a spider ๐Ÿ•ท๏ธmatching game and had to count the spiders and match them with the correct number.

We loved the learning experience of playing in the messy tray with lots of orange rice ๐Ÿšand black pasta ๐Ÿwhich looked like a pumpkin. ๐ŸŽƒ talking about the textures and colours.

Today in babies we have been using our fingers๐Ÿ–๐Ÿป to make lots of marks in some flour and washing up liquid. The babies also liked playing in the jelly looking for some Halloween ๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ‘ป items. They also enjoyed eating the jelly to taste the flavour๐Ÿ‹. They also liked spending time in the garden ๐Ÿก looking at the different coloured ๐Ÿ”ด๐ŸŸ ๐ŸŸก leaves๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿƒ.

In preschool and toddlers today we have been exploring our names and the different sounds within them. This lead to looking at our names and how they are written. Some children have had an interest in writing โœ๏ธ to their families so we decided to firstly write our names and then make our very own postcards๐Ÿ“ฎ drawing our pictures and then writing our very own names and messages. ๐Ÿ“ฌ This sparked a conversation about holidays! So we then learned all about the different types of holidays and forms of transport ๐ŸšŸ to get there! โœˆ๏ธ
