Arts & Crafts – Our theme this week is:  Animal homes.
We did the snail’s home today, which is on his back,
They coloured- in and then painted and decorated the picture.

and I found two snails in the garden to show them!

Afterwards we washed hands & did a toilet visit.

Ring time:

First, we sang songs which they love, including Hot Cross Buns; One, Two, Buckle My Shoe…

Then we did an Auditory processing activity using an interactive farmyard, with a CD and puzzle, the children have been learning all the farmyard animal noises this week, and we went over them with the activity.

Teaching task: this week they have been learning the colour Yellow, the term ducklings, and practicing counting, using plastic ducklings up to 3.

The yellow colour bag has been investigated.

We then marched with musical instruments using the tambourines today, the maracas yesterday!

We then caught bubbles.

Then we played an indoor ball game promoting co-ordination, by rolling the ball across the room between their legs.

Second outdoor Play. Here we often design a planned activity such as balancing on the balance beam or

Ball skills games, water troughs with boats and ducks, sand pit play, hopping and other physical activities.

Then we read stories, here the children are involved by answering various relevant questions and participating in the story. Today they practiced animal noises and counting whenever we could.

The stories and art are related to the theme of the week.

Then it was nappy- changing again, shoes on, faces wiped and home time!
