This week we have had such good fun finding new ways to balance.We have used our balancing bikes and found new skills which have helped us move around safely.
We have used all our special equipment that we have in our amazing outdoor area to help us balance on our own.
We also had fun in the Sensory garden doing a sensory circuit. We all took it in turns to balance on our stomach and try and make it to the other side.We then had to stand up without falling and jump off the other end into a hoop.It was lots of fun. We also got the scooters out and enjoyed those too.
We found lots of exciting ways to balance this week and had lots of fun doing it.
The children in the Hub have been celebrating Harvest by making ‘Harvest Creatures’, using fruit and vegetables. They took great pride in displaying their creations outside our Hub entrance and couldn’t wait to show their parents at the end of the day.
We were all very proud of the children for their discussions about all the things they were thankful for. They drew some lovely, detailed pictures and completed some beautiful writing.
The children loved designing their pumpkin and scooping out all the seeds.
Mr Norton carved out their design and delivered safety talk on using equipment.
Some of our children loved the sensory feeling of scooping out with their hands whilst others chose to scoop out with spoon.
We investigated our pumpkin seeds and compared sizes with other seeds.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO ALWAYS ASK AN ADULT TO HELP YOU CARVE YOUR PUMPKIN!
This week in our Sensory Garden, we have enjoyed Early Talk Boost , Stories for Taking and most of all, we all loved our Friendship group… especially hiding under the Lycra!
Friday was extra special as we had a fun activity day for having a fabulous week!
The children in the Hub have been demonstrating excellent use of fine motor skills this week for our Chinese New Year celebrations.
We enjoyed our food tasting session with noodles, spring rolls and rice crackers on the menu. We used chopsticks to eat our noodles with and Raphael was crowned King of the Chopsticks.
The children displayed safe use of scissors and excellent cutting skills making their lanterns.
Good speaking and listening skills were also displayed during our story of the day ‘Cleversticks’, beautifully read by Stephanie.
