We created our ‘Holiday Cards’ using cupcake cases to simulate winter trees.
We were able to demonstrate good looking and listening skills enabling us to follow instructions and copy one that had been prepared earlier.
We enjoyed sprinkling our trees with glitter but didn’t like it when the glue stuck to our fingers.
Happy Holidays!
We were very creative today making our winter wreaths to decorate our houses.
We loved the sensory feel and noise of the tissue paper.
We have been very kind and generous little Hubbers today, raising money for Children in Need.
We wore our yellow jumpers and enjoyed covering our large Pudsey Bear with all our coins.
We made yellow playdough with Mrs Foston and enjoyed using our imagination making cookies using our rolling pins and special Pudsey Playdough mats.
It was such a lovely sensory experience squeezing the warm playdough through our fingers.
So proud of our little Hubbers today paying their respect during Remembrance Day.
We demonstrated good listening watching a beautiful but very moving animation portraying the story of the War.
We made sensory poppies before placing them on our wreaths to display in our classroom. Our older children painted some poppies. Evan wanted to paint a purple poppy to remember all the horses, dogs and pigeons that lost their lives too.
We explored our senses making some poppy inspired biscuits for our snack. They were delicious.
We had a wonderful time celebrating the festival of Diwali.
We used paint and cotton buds to very carefully decorate our Mendhi hands.
To celebrate the festival of light we used a flickering simulated candle surrounded by sweet treats. We loved eating our sweet treats afterwards.
Blake enjoyed some intensive interaction with Mrs Robinson acting out the story of Rama and Sita, using their small world characters.
To celebrate Bonfire Night, we enjoyed using blow and fringe painting techniques to create our fireworks.
Tim had so much fun squeezing the paint onto his tray before fringe painting.
Some of the fireworks we saw on our video were a little too noisy for us but we enjoyed looking at the colours once the volume was turned off.
Blake appeared to understand the importance of fire safety keeping a safe distance from our cosy Hub fire. Blake repeatedly said “Hot!”
We have had the best time exploring all our emotions and senses at our ‘Hull Hub Fair’ this week!
Our Hub classroom was set up just like the real Hull Fair with stalls and simulating rides!
We travelled in style in our ‘Hub Bus‘ observing our local area and visiting Hull Fair!
We saw lots of rides and were amazed at the size of the ‘Big Wheel’. We viewed the homes of the travelling community and bought some tasty treats to try at our food tasting session.
We couldn’t wait to taste all the food we bought at Hull Fair! We tasted candy floss, pomegranates, brandy snap, nougat. We loved the texture of the coconut but we didn’t want to taste it.
We made our own candy floss, using cotton wool. Some of us weren’t too sure about the texture and didn’t like it sticking to our fingers.
Making our own chocolate apples was the best activity of the week. Most of us went home with very chocolate but very happy faces.
In our Hub today, we participated in World Mental Health Day by wearing yellow and identifying our emotions during circle time. We expressed how we were feeling by choosing between a happy or sad visual.
We love being outdoors. This makes us all feel very happy.
We have had bumper crops in our Hub this year, using a variety of painting techniques to simulate apples, carrots and sweetcorn.
We explored our senses by looking, feeling, smelling and tasting our fruit and vegetables before painting them.
We enjoyed printing with real apples that we hand picked from our community orchard visit.
We loved using a potato masher, making patterns to create our sweetcorn.
The painting technique that we enjoyed the most was footprinting. We had our feet painted then printed on paper, creating the most amazing carrots. It was very sensory………and tickly! The paintbrush tickled us so much that we couldn’t stop laughing.
We had a wonderful sensory experience for our ‘Harvest Thanksgiving’.
Felling all autumnal in our Hub!
Our little treasures have been busy little Hubbers making handprints for our seasonal tree, gathering leaves for their autumn crafting activities, making autumn hats, wreaths and stained glass hedgehogs.
We are loving the season of autumn already.
