We had a lovely time today on a woodland walk! Observing and exploring plants & nature. We then continued our learning with the resources we collected on an Autumn investigation tray! 🍁🍁 So many open ended learning opportunities here, promoting every area of the Foundation Phase Curriculum!

Today we have been “threading” some autumn leaf shapes, making collages of our favourite colours & also self portraits using pasta! We are helping develop our sense of self, fine motor skills and personal preferences through these activities! 😊

Washing babies! 🛁 We discussed how we wash to keep ourselves nice & clean & identified parts of the body.

This week we used mirrors, dough & natural resources to create self portraits. Keeping in with our “ all about me” theme, we identified facial features & manipulated the dough/resources. The children were ever so creative! Furthering their learning even more by making a pig face & a snake !! Da iawn pawb! 😊😊

Some of our “all about me”/ Autumn activities 😊🍁

Lots of fun at playgroup during our “stay & play session” with the children & their families 😊

As part of our “all about me” theme we have been using a mirror tray to help us draw self portraits. We loved looking at our facial features in the tray & then drawing them using our own choice of mark making instrument. We also learnt about our names, making name pictures with our initial in glitter ☺️☺️

Little sensory/loose parts set up for the children tomorrow. Lots of learning opportunities here- exploring man made & natural resources, seasons, colour, senses.... the possibilities are endless! We LOVE this time of year 🍁🍂🍁

Our updated reading corner & some “all about me” self portraits! 😊

Some natural loose parts play!
