Hibernation

Last week we have been learning about hibernation 🐻 We have immersed ourselves in creating caves where our animals hibernate, we also made hedgehoges with playdough and sticks.🦔 We also went on a bear hunt in the Sensory Room, it was great fun! Finally, our sensory activity where we were able to find animals that hibernate in their habitat. Last week we have learned a lot and we have played, our imagination helped us to create a tunnel with the chairs, it was super fun! 🤭

Learning about shapes

Last week, we had lots of fun learning all about the geometrical shapes such as: circle, square, rectangular, and triangle 🔺️ 😀. For arts and crafts, we had drawn shapes using the geometrical inserts from our Montessori material, painted using the wooden blocks of different shapes and colours. For our sensory play, we had a competition through which we had to match the different shaped wooden blocks to their matching drawn shapes on a big poster, and then we coloured them.

Also, of course, we enjoyed our garden time, disco dancing, games, and playing with our friends 🧡.

Haloween

Halloween is such a fun and special time of year for our little ones at Little Stars on the Lane. We get to really use our imagination and have so much fun. We always include development activities in our fun like working on our gross and fine motor skills, or developing creativity. It’s on days like today there is nowhere else we’d rather be.

Birthdays, Families and Fun

We had a fun filled week at Little Stars on the lane Theatre Lane. We started this week celebrating the birthday of one of our friends. We created the birthday crown, made rice crispy treats and danced a lot! 🕺The next day we started to get to know our families🏠, we were talking about our siblings, parents, pets, grandparents and much more! We made our own houses with our finger prints and, using our hands, we drew the members of our families, and some pets. We also recreated our relatives with play dough. Finally we helped the colourful bears to find their homes!🧸 They are all safe and sound! Then we enjoyed playing with the rice, moving it from one place to another, burying cars and much more, we have lots of imagination! ✨

This week we have loved talking about our own family, but also getting to know all the families in our group.

Last week for some of our little ones

A very emotional week last week as we said goodbye to some of our little ones who will move on to school. We will miss them so much but we’re delighted to see each of them grow into the strong, independent personalities they have become. ❤️❤️❤️

Sea Creatures

We had so much fun learning about sea creatures this week at Little Stars on the Lane. Our children extended their learning of sea creatures to sea food and then on to healthy eating. It’s so beautiful to see emergent interests flourish amongst the children.
