This week we’ve been very busy in Dragonflies doing all things to celebrate Harvest Festival!

All our Dragonflies had a wonderful time exploring the different textures of our Harvest ingredients in our Sensory Bin. Our children are beginning to enjoy working together and sitting taking part in a variety of group activities.

Everyone enjoyed getting messy during our sweetcorn painting session. There were lots of smiles and anticipation as the bubble wrap was popped. The children independently accessed a range of painting utensils to create their own sensory sweetcorn picture. This activity was a fantastic opportunity to further develop those all important fine motor skills.

This week we’ve introduced our afternoon sensory sessions. Our first session focused on Harvest. The children amazed us all with how independently they engaged throughout these sessions.

Welcome back to Dragonflies!

Are you ready to look at all the wonderful activities we’ve been busy with?

It was Zoyas birthday last month. We had cake, music and dancing. Zoya and her friends had so much fun!

Last week the children decorated cakes as part of our Macmillan Coffee Morning. They demonstrated excellent choice making skills and took turns to share the equipment.

We also got very messy making our harvest pictures.

The children have also been working individually on their problem solving skills. Activities have included, counting, exploring colour and pattern and handling a variety of textures.

Our topic is Animal Kingdom and we’ve been finding out all about bears. The children created brown bear pictures using forks to spread the paint. We’ve learnt a new dance to our Panda song . The children explored black and white objects, sorted black and white pictures and made a beautiful panda bear display. They have also listened and joined in with the story song Going on a Bear Hunt.

We’re all so proud of how hard our little Dragonflies are working. Well done everyone!

The Dragonflies are now all settled in their new class and are amazing us all with how hard they are working.

This week the children have joined in with lots of physical activities and explored different ways of moving.Some enjoyed swinging,others working to balance and kick the ball’s,and others running and sliding!

Finally we had a group session learning all about the colour yellow.This links to our story of the 5 Little Ducks.

The children explored yellow items before choosing an instrument to join in with the song Yellow Submarine!

They then worked creatively to complete’Yellow’ Collages using different materials!

Another lovely busy week!

Have wonderful weekend!
Dragonflies Team.

We now have all our children back in Dragonflies and it is lovely to see them!

A special welcome to Zoya who is settling in beautifully.

This week we have carried on with the story of the Five Little Ducks. The children all sat in a group taking turns to explore different textures relating to the book. They then had great fun completing the rubber duck stamping activity. The children were all able to communicate which colour they wanted to use. Kealan had such a great time that he wanted to carry on!

We have also enjoyed our outside break times, exploring leaves, playing on the swings and generally having a fabulous time.

What a wonderful busy week we have had!

Just a quick reminder we’re swimming on Wednesday.

Have a lovely weekend everyone. See you all on Monday! 🌼
