We have been very busy at pre school, we have continued our Valentines craft activities, we discussed who and what we love, and why, mostly Paw Patrol, and the children really enjoyed making their creations for their families. We have been using our weather board, we have been chatting about the days of the week,the season and what the weather is like each day.
We have been doing lots of construction, making different spaces for the animals and people, making domino stacks and knocking them down, matching colours and shapes as we play, and counting our blocks.
We have done some fantastic group activities, we used shaving foam to hide people inside, the children really enjoyed getting covered in the foam and mixing it around, they pretended it was cream and that they were making a cake. We made lots of mess with paint on a tuff tray, this enabled the children to scribe marks in the paint and make different patterns, these activities encourage malleable messy play.
We have been making dinosaurs out of paper plates, the children spent a long time decorating their heads and bodies, some putting spikes on them, this encouraged lots of chatter about different shapes, and which shapes in our world are similar.
We have been using the musical instruments, the children attempted to play twinkle twinkle, as they sung along, tapping out beats on the different equipment, listening to the various sounds they could make.
