Time for another catch up post the Little Explorers have unfortunately had to have the majority of this week off due to illness in the home however they’ve been busy previous weeks and I can’t believe looking back at just how much we got up to……….

🍂 we made bird feeders a great sensory/messy activity and the children really got stuck in with this.
🍂 visited our usual Monday play group the children love the outdoor space here and rightly so it’s brilliant !!
🍂 we’ve been for more autumn walks and collected items to make an autumn star we looked at how all the leaves are changing colour and how lots of them are falling to the ground we saw some squirrels gathering acorns and eating monkey nuts 😍 we even managed to watch the firefighters doing a bit of training 🧑‍🚒👨‍🚒
🍂 we’ve been to feed the ducks 🦆 they do enjoy a little bag of oats every now and then and I spoke to the children about how we shouldn’t feed them bread ❌ 🍞
🍂 we’ve made ‘funny faces’ with autumn items we’ve collected over the last few weeks this got lots of giggles 🤭
🍂 we’ve done lots more autumn inspired art and my new Little Explorers have really enjoyed exploring the autumn sensory table it’s taken a little encouragement as with all things new but it’s been lovely watching them grow in confidence 💕
🍂 we’ve also been revisiting colour and have done lots of activities to encourage language and recognition most of the children can name at least 1 colour consistently with green and yellow being firm favourites !!
🍂 we’ve visited offshoots and played in the mud kitchen there were lots of apples there this time and the children enjoyed transporting them in the wheelbarrows and mixing them in the pans and buckets making meals for everyone
🍂 I took the children over to a lovely sensory room. With another opportunity to explore colour, sounds, lights and music 🎶 we built little archways to crawl under and had lots of fun with the ball pit
🍂 we also spent a morning at the play centre a great place to let off some steam and get some exercise in with lots of opportunities to climb, slide, kick, chase a ball and build towers we finished off with a visit to the cafe for lunch !!

Autumn crafts today was full of experiments, my Little Explorer found different ways to make paint marks on the paper from rolling the pine cones to dropping them and watching the paint splatter 🥰, onto scissor skills and lots of conversations about different cultures inspired by Hispanic Heritage month “that’s a big hat” aka sombrero, the people in the pictures talk in a different language called Spanish, their words sound different to ours so we say hello and Spanish people say hola. We also manage to add a touch of numeracy fun these little people amaze me 😍
