Taking risks

Taking risks outside 

During continuous provision the children thought of their own ideas on how to use the crates and wooden planks.  They then tested these ideas out by placing the plank on the climbing frame and using it as a balancing beam to climb up.  The children took risks by walking higher and higher up the climbing frame using Steph as support if needed.  The children sought challenges, persisting with the activity even when they were a little apprehensive. 

Easter

Easter Fun

The children celebrated Easter by participating in making chocolate Easter nests.  They helped to mix, stir, scoop and place their own eggs on top of their nests.

I used my shoulder and elbow muscles when stirring the ingredients together.

I used my finger muscles to pick up the mini eggs for my nest. 

I showed a can do attitude by independently placing the mixture into my bun case.

Happy Mother's Day

The babies pointed at their
 mummies on the families board

          
The children looked at pictures of their mummies and other female relatives. The pre-school children made hand print pictures.  

"Look that's my mummy"

I tasted raw onion
 but I was a little unsure. 

 Mr Tumble says.....
'Remember smile for life'

The babies explored different vegetables including celery, onion and broccoli and

tasted some of these too.

Staff showed the children how to brush 
their teeth using a doll. 
 The children in the tweenie room practiced good tooth brushing techniques.

Mr Tumble says.....
'Lets look at things that could burn us'

Staff showed the babies pictures of hot items and used words and actions to help them understand danger.

St. Patrick's Day

The babies created green pictures on St. Patrick's Day using a shamrock sponge and green paint.

Our topic is.....

Lets Explore  

The babies used their senses to explore a variety of activities including paint, malleable materials and water. They showed a high level of fascination and interest.

Look at me copying peekaboo from the picture book.

  

I liked watching the digger and
 dumper truck in the garden.

I showed a can do attitude
 whilst building my tower.

Do you want to build a snowman???
