Our sunflowers have been growing really tall and now have lovely flowers on the top.

Today we have been playing in the sensory tray. We used rice and pasta to make a pretend birthday cake. We used long pieces of pasta to stick in the top to make candles!

This morning we have been using our fingers to paint with, look at our lovely finger paintings! We used lots of colours to make them nice and bright and mixed some colours together to create new colours. 

We have been looking at different textures this week. We have been looking at lots of different objects and describing the texture of them. We used soft fluffy material to make somewhere for our dinosaurs to play. We used the green material for the grass, the grey material for the mud and the blue material for the water. We had lots of fun pretending the dinosaurs were going swimming and playing in the park!

The weather has been lovely this week and lots of the children have enjoyed playing in the paddling pool and playing with the water hose! We have done lots of water based activities this week to help us stay cool. We have also been learning about how important it is to stay safe in the sunshine.

Today we have been making leaf kebabs in the garden! We used sticks and different coloured leaves.

The 2-3 children have been having lots of fun recently using their new story sacks. The children have enjoyed using the story sacks as props to act out the stories on their own.

Pre School have been finding natural materials in the the garden to use for printing. Today we found lots of big leaves and used paint to print with them!

Friday (18th July) is the Preschool leavers party 3pm-4.30pm! We have a bouncy castle, games and party tea. This party is for Pre School children who are leaving for school this summer, thank you.

We have been watering our sunflowers every day and look how tall they have grown!
