What have we been up to this week……..

Over the last week in the Wise Owls room, the children have enjoyed spending lots of time in the garden lining up tyres to practice their balancing skills and to create obstacle courses to enjoy with their peers. The children have also enjoyed using our small building bricks in the garden, they have built walls, towers and some children have even been pretending to do cement work! Lots of our children have been finding it really funny to pull crazy faces through the windows too, we have been practicing different faces that we can make, looking at ourselves in the mirrors and asking to have our pictures taken too! 
 In the Curious Squirrels room, the children have enjoyed sharing stories with grown-ups in the room. Their favourites this week have been ‘lift the flap’ books. The children have also enjoyed spending time in the squirrel’s garden joining in with some outdoor painting! One of the children helped to set the painting up and requested purple, red and orange paint! Once dry, the lovely paintings were displayed in the squirrel’s room for the children to admire! The children have also been enjoying exploring the sand tray, some of the children like to take their socks off and enjoy the sensory experience of the way that the sand feels on their feet!

Over the last couple of weeks at Little Explorers we have been busy making the most of the beautiful weather.
In the Wise owls room the children have enjoyed watching our pumpkin plants grow. They have also been making zoos outside with the animals choosing carefully where to put each animal and what each animal would needs. We have also been exploring patterns with the peg boards.

Together we have spoken about different feelings we experience, what faces can look like when we are feeling different things and what to do when we are feeling different things.

The children have enjoyed using the outside equipment such as the slides and we have been supporting them with climbing up the steps if they need it. The children have enjoyed exploring the counting camels with the scales as well measuring and seeing how long it takes for the scales to move.

Last week in the curious squirrels room the children have enjoyed exploring the threading fruits which they then took with them around the room like their were pets showing them the soft play and even reading stories with them. The children like doing drawings on the ground in the playground with the chalks and the younger of the children especially like watching our creative practitioners draw pictures for them. We would also like to say a big THANK YOU to one of our very kind parents also came to assemble our new sand pit for us which the children have been in every day since it was built with our new silicone sand resources.
Last week in the Wise Owls room the mini-beasts interest has continued one of our children had the great idea to decorate a butterfly they had asked an adult to draw with pencil sharpenings. This then led on to us creating fairy wings with some of the children which were beautiful. The children in this room have also enjoyed building with our bamboo resources and road from which they worked together and made a city.

Over the last few weeks in the Curious Squirrels room we have been enjoying exploring some of the resources from the wise owl’s room including the connecting camels and the counting dinosaur eggs, we have made a big line with these that almost went the whole way around the table. We have been continuing to enjoy sand play especially inside where we like to use our loose parts to scoop and fill as well as the cups and spoons from our home corner. We have liked getting the garden ready for planting out some of the plants the wise owls have been looking after for us including sunflowers and a pumpkin plant. 

Over the last few weeks in the Wise owls room we have been exploring road safety with our road safety signs, talking about the green and red people at crossings, traffic lights, stopping by roads, being safe, zebra crossings and lollypop people. The children have enjoyed role playing with the signs and taking on the role of the lollipop person. We have enjoyed playing with the weighing scales alongside our super sorting pie and continuing to make beautiful animal homes from our bamboo building set. Now school transition (taster afternoons) have started we have brought in some school uniform bits for the children to explore during role play which they have loved doing and they even wore some over to reception class last week when we went over to play.

As a setting we have celebrated the king’s coronation by painting pictures, decorating crowns, making bunting and making flags. The Wise owls also held a Coronation street party which although the curious squirrels did not join us for they did enjoy some party food and treats. A lovely time was had by all!

We are pleased to announce that we have implemented some names for our rooms to match our natural environment, our baby room is now called the curious squirrels room and the big room is now called the wise owls room. We will be changing our intercom buttons shortly and have chosen some lovely room decorations to match these themes.

We have made many special cards this week that the children have asked to make including cards for Nanny’s, Mummy’s, Sisters and Daddy’s using lots of sparkles.

In the baby room this week the children have enjoyed playing with our indoor sand tray with loose parts such as fabric conditioner lids, bubble tubs and plastic pots. These loose parts encourage a wide range of learning opportunities, imagination (in the photo they have been making ice creams and hot chocolates), mathematical knowledge and sensory exploration. In our garden they have enjoyed mark making on a large-scale using chalks on the blackboard as well as the ground, this develops their gross motor skills and is part of the foundation for writing skills in later life.
In the big room this week the children have been exploring the lunar new year including reading the story, acting out the story with lolly pop stick puppets, making lanterns and decorating dragon masks just to name a few. This supports the children in learning about different festivals, ways of life, different countries and various cultures. The children have also enjoyed playing with our role play hospital where they have taken on the roles of doctors, nurses and patients. This has encouraged the children to explore different occupations, care for others and expand their empathy as well as expanding their imagination, encouraging their personal social and emotional needs and building their communication.
