We had great fun last week with more Autumn themes, making shapes playing with play dough and starting our leaf collection

Emotions

Dear families, last week has been full of emotions. We have been learning about the different ways we can feel. We started the week by reading about the colour monsters and colouring in how we were feeling at the time. 💛We also played with playdough, creating different faces and imitating them by looking in the mirror!🪞 On the other hand, we created a sensory table with coloured couscous, imitating the coloured monsters, we talked about each of them and got down to work experimenting with this texture. 🍚The next day we explored the light table, creating faces, and then played with flour and light, it was great fun! This week we talked a lot about emotions, how we feel at any given moment, how my classmates might feel at any given moment and ways to deal with them. On the other hand, we made the most of the sunshine by playing in the garden, but we also took advantage of the rain, with a circuit in the garden with a roof. Thanks to our classmates we were also able to make shadows on the wall with a torch. We played with playdough, did puzzles, played with cars, magnets and role play. We look forward to seeing you next week to have more fun together! ❤️

Autumn Theme

Hi all this week we started our Autumn theme. We have a lovely nature box started, thank you to all the children who brought items in 🍁. We painted Autumn trees and made leaf rubbings. We made autumn spiral decorations and worked on our motor skills with scissor work. We have lots more Autumn activities planned for next week 🍂 😊

All About Me

This week in Little Stars on the Lane Seagreen, we continued exploring the theme "All About Me." We read The Colour Monster by Anna Llenas, a beautiful story about understanding emotions. The children engaged in discussions and activities about the book, sharing their thoughts on feelings and how to express them. As part of our activities, the children created wonderful drawings of their families and worked on a family tree project, learning more about their own unique family structures. It was a week full of creativity and emotional growth.

Birthdays, Families and Fun

We had a fun filled week at Little Stars on the lane Theatre Lane. We started this week celebrating the birthday of one of our friends. We created the birthday crown, made rice crispy treats and danced a lot! 🕺The next day we started to get to know our families🏠, we were talking about our siblings, parents, pets, grandparents and much more! We made our own houses with our finger prints and, using our hands, we drew the members of our families, and some pets. We also recreated our relatives with play dough. Finally we helped the colourful bears to find their homes!🧸 They are all safe and sound! Then we enjoyed playing with the rice, moving it from one place to another, burying cars and much more, we have lots of imagination! ✨

This week we have loved talking about our own family, but also getting to know all the families in our group.

Water Play Olympics

So much fun with our water play olympics at Little Stars on the Lane. Our children loved learning about pouring, volume, measuring, taking turns and working together - all whilst enjoying every moment. Making great memories this week.

So much fun this week

Learning all about food, sets, matching, collaboration, fractions and all the time having so much fun in Little Stars on the Lane 🍕🍏☺️½

Global Garden Post Office

This week our community helpers took us to the post office to chat about the important job the postman has to help us get our letters, we made Global Garden post cards, designed and painted our stamps and had lots of fun playing post office and posting our post cards. The postman even popped his head on to say "hello" to us whole busy delivering his letters.😀We will continue with community helpers next week.
