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 😍

The ‘Little Explorers’ have had a lovely football themed day celebrating Burnley FC’s recent promotion, the children loved showing off their football skills with the very friendly BFC staff and we had fun finding all our favourite players around the town centre. The children even managed to come home with one of the signed squad photos each. Thank you Burnley Football Club and your lovely staff you made 2 Little Explorers very happy 💕⚽️

Easter wrap up……. Lots of adventures and getting creative, I don’t often get chance to take pictures of crafts as you can imagine under 3’s and paint doesn’t always go to plan 🙃🤣 but we have fun and get messy and that’s what it’s all about 💕.

We had the pleasure of my youngest also known as my little PA and resource tester, joining us over the half term she’s absolutely brilliant with the little ones 💕

Whistle stop tour of our jam packed adventures:-
Bolton Abbey for the bunny trail.. a visit to Thornton Hall farm brilliant day out, went to see the newborn lambs in the lambing tent at Hurstwood, chocolate egg hunts around offshoots at Towneley, a bit of pond dipping for tadpoles and lots lots more….. they don’t call us the Little Explorers for nothing……

Half term has been cold and mostly miserable weather wise but it hasn’t stopped us !!
Monday - Clitheroe Castle for a dinosaur hunt
Tuesday - saw the arrival of our very first trip…… myself and the Explorers ventured off to Imagine That in Liverpool and what an adventure it was, the children spent the day playing, creating and problem solving with their friends, they had an amazing time, all of the children were so well behaved and an absolute credit to their parents 💕
Wednesday - Paint party
Thursday - Baby Boo multisensory session
Friday - we worked on our fine motor skills using the playdough and threading cheerios 💕 we also got the music toys out and built towers and played with the cars and diggers.
We’ve also had the pleasure of my youngest joining the Explorers for the week, shes spent her half term helping mummy and the little ones and has had lots of fun herself, she’s been amazing we’ll be lost without her when she goes back to school 😍

Watch this space to see where our next adventure will take us xx
