We have been out of the setting to explore the start of autumn and to find autumn treasures. Today’s words were autumn and conkers. The children loved leaping over dried cracks, gathering all the treasures, exploring how the leaves blow in the wind, watching squirrels eating and knocking conkers from the trees. At the end, we had fun with our parachute. They especially loved our belonging game where they each took a turn to go under the parachute and then they all went under together to finish off. 🪂

This weeks role play has been carpenters. 🔨🔧 One of our preschoolers mentioned their dad is a carpenter. So we messaged their Dad to ask if he had anything we could use for role play. Thank you for our treasures, we had great fun. (Health and safety had been thought about before the children could play with any tape measures and drills.)

Krazy Kangas are back and this month they are superheros. The children enjoyed exploring all the different textures, dressing up, playing with musical instruments and popping the bubbles. Thanks for coming Rio. 🫧

The children had taken a keen interest in imagining being firefighters. So we gave them helmets and hoses to extend their play. This created endless storylines and fun with friends. 🧯🚒

We have been supporting children to have a sense of belonging in the setting. We have taken photos of them being creative to each have on their own clipboard. Then the children can add their creations to decorate the art room. They love showing their friends or an adult who hasnt been in the setting there pride and joy. 📸

Finally, we made an obstacle course. We started with the lower course seeing how far we could jump forward and for the younger children if they could step up onto the platform, building up to the higher platform. Learning patience whilst we waited for our friends to jump and having confidence and bravery to jump off. We made sure the area was clear before jumping and we were careful to jump and land with two feet. In our setting, we support children to build up slowly and only do what they were comfortable and confident with. 🏟️

Next up in our sports day was our water transporting race. We choose this because of all the different learning opportunities for every age and stage. The youngest children explored the feeling of the water and enjoyed letting the big children pour the water onto their hands. We discussed being kind to our friends and asking permission. We discussed the question ‘Do the younger children like that, how do we know?’ We supported the youngest children to show them how to carry water from one bucket to another and the eldest children were learning shape and space by choosing different vessels and seeing how much they could fill them with and seeing if they could get it across without pouring everywhere. The preschool children noticed that the smaller vessels didn't hold as much as the larger vessels.

Our sports day was a great hit. 🏅We started off with egg and spoon races. Children were learning about waiting our turn and cheering each other on. They worked on both gross motor skills and fine motor skills. As they grew in confidence, they noticed that one child's egg broke. This meant they wanted to explore what was inside. One child made a story about a dragon, another child explains eggs come from chickens. This supported the children’s communication and language. Even the younger 1 years olds joined in to pass the egg back and forth to an adult and exploring how the egg felt inside. We used lots of single words to support the children’s development.

The next day in our preschool session we made a splat mat for our sports day. We have been focussing on supporting our 2 year olds to mark make with purpose and the 3 year olds were helping to show the younger children what to do. The 3 year olds are working on counting in order to three so whilst they splatted we counted to three. 3️⃣

In our preschool sessions, we were preparing for our in-house sports day. We made badges for our friends where we looked at writing the number 1. The children enjoyed this and said which friends they would give them too. 🥇
