23.01.2022 Tuesday 15th March 2018 Today we recreated what we sore at the farm using animal stickers on a farm background. we spoke about what each animal was called, what sound they made, what they ate and where they lived. It was a great way to recap on yesterday's excursion. we also coloured in some animal colouring in pages that Michelle at Michelle's Ark Animal Rescue gave to the children at the end of our visit.... We also started our Yoga sessions. each day we will be doing a yoga session to teach the children mindfulness, wellbeing and spatial awareness. We used our NEW IPAD to listen, watch and copy the moves to the yoga video on youtube that was inspired by the book "the very hungry caterpillar" Riley - enjoyed using the new felt resource to practice his counting - keeping with the animal theme.

22.01.2022 Wednesday 16th May 2018 This morning was the most perfect weather to head out for a morning play and use up all our energy that we had. We then came inside for our second Yoga session which was a huge hit again. it is the perfect calm down before lunch and rest time. in the afternoon Riley and Miss Dani enjoyed making slime and added the underwater animals to continue with our animal theme for the week. We spoke about the animals names and their colours. The younger children... then got to explore the slime in a sensory bottle. These sensory bottles will be added to our Yoga/Zen room to help the children to sooth themselves.

21.01.2022 We have really enjoyed having another FDC as our Penpal. Today they sent us one last letter which included a thank you letter, some stickers and this gorgeous handmade puzzle. Each of her children painted their own marble painting and then they stuck a cut out picture of a penguin on and numbered each piece to help us put the puzzle together. We are so greatful for Jasmine and her FDC for our beautiful mail Jazzy Js Care

21.01.2022 Thursday 17th May 2018 Today was Miss Alyssa's first day. She had such a wonderful morning making new friends and exploring her new environment. Today's yoga session was Moana inspired and the girls loved it! (don't mind the photos of our bottoms, its all a part of the yoga poses haha)... To extend on our week of animals we decided to get out the roll of butcher's paper and colour in our animal stencils. This was a great conversation started that led to discussing colours, animal names, what sound they make, what they eat, etc. In the afternoon we made and explored a peek-a-boo game that had pictures of animals coats/patterns and then when the children lifted the flap it revealed what animal it was. Sommer loved repeating the animals names and sounds they make.
