We had great fun last week boosting our fine motor skills learning about Tigers and Giraffes. We also looked at some of the world’s tallest buildings and built our own!
Learning about Fire
More fun this week, we supported Sofia by celebrating Spanish day (12/10) we made spanish fans.
We started our fire extinguishers, made fire trucks and fire pictures. We spoke about fire alarms and the 3 rules 😉 what to do if our clothes catch fire (stop, drop, roll) we learnt a fireman song also. Next week we will continue with our fire safety and halloween crafts and hopefully we will have a special visitor on friday morning.

Hedgehogs and Leaf painting
Last week's activities, we had lots of fun finishing up our Autumn theme. We enjoyed gluing the leaves we collected, some lovely leaf painting and making some hedgehogs with playdough. The children were given the materials and one little hedgehog was made they had to make their own and the all did super. We have been reading The Little Acorn book so we made acorns with our hand prints.We also started some scissor exercise with some to assess their hand/finger position, concentration and control, we will continue to work on this regularly. Lots of garden play enjoyed also this week. 😊
Next week we will start our fire safety theme and Halloween.
Autumn at Global Garden
We had great fun last week with more Autumn themes, making shapes playing with play dough and starting our leaf collection
Emotions
Dear families, last week has been full of emotions. We have been learning about the different ways we can feel. We started the week by reading about the colour monsters and colouring in how we were feeling at the time. 💛We also played with playdough, creating different faces and imitating them by looking in the mirror!🪞 On the other hand, we created a sensory table with coloured couscous, imitating the coloured monsters, we talked about each of them and got down to work experimenting with this texture. 🍚The next day we explored the light table, creating faces, and then played with flour and light, it was great fun! This week we talked a lot about emotions, how we feel at any given moment, how my classmates might feel at any given moment and ways to deal with them. On the other hand, we made the most of the sunshine by playing in the garden, but we also took advantage of the rain, with a circuit in the garden with a roof. Thanks to our classmates we were also able to make shadows on the wall with a torch. We played with playdough, did puzzles, played with cars, magnets and role play. We look forward to seeing you next week to have more fun together! ❤️

Looking after our Teeth
We had a busy week this week in Little Stars Global Garden. We learnt all about how to care for our teeth by making amazing arts and crafts
Sea Animals
We had a really busy and exciting week in Little Stars on the Lane. In our Global Room, our little ones learned about animals that live in the sea🌊 The children had a really good time making lots of arts about them! We also had lots of fun in circle time, where we learned new songs, we practiced our colors and numbers. Through all of this activities we aim to motivate their curiosity to learn new things whilst developing their cognitive, motor, sensory and emotional skills.
