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.

Autumn Theme

Hi all this week we started our Autumn theme. We have a lovely nature box started, thank you to all the children who brought items in 🍁. We painted Autumn trees and made leaf rubbings. We made autumn spiral decorations and worked on our motor skills with scissor work. We have lots more Autumn activities planned for next week 🍂 😊

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.

Water Play Olympics

So much fun with our water play olympics at Little Stars on the Lane. Our children loved learning about pouring, volume, measuring, taking turns and working together - all whilst enjoying every moment. Making great memories this week.

So much fun this week

Learning all about food, sets, matching, collaboration, fractions and all the time having so much fun in Little Stars on the Lane 🍕🍏☺️½

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.

Our little learners had great sensory play fun last week

Bodies, Strong teeth and hearts

Great work at Little Stars Theatre Lane last week. We learned about our bodies, strong teeth and hearts. We also learned about growing plants and insects, all while having so much fun with our friends

Fruit and Vegetables

Bhaineamar an méid sun sult as foghlaim faoí torthaí agus glasraí. 🍎🍇🍓Rinneamar taiscéal ar ealaín a dhéanamh trí modhanna éagsula agus ag úsáid ábhar éagsula. Na ábhar is fearr linn ná clúdach bolgáin, agus stampaí bhia. Rinneamar súlachas agus cluichí mórtimpeall ar an Téama. Chleachtaíomar ceansú Lunn luaidh agus sciosúir chun ár tiúchan agus comhordú a láidriú. Tá muid ag foghlaim amhrán nua comh maith.

Hi all We have been having lots of fun learning about our fruit and Vegetables.🍎🫐🍎 The children have explored different methods of creating art, including printing with bubble wrap and using food as stampers. We have made smoothies and played guess the food games. We created fun food work sheets for the children to practice pencil control and introduced scissors work to strengthen our coordination and concentration. We are learning a new circle time song also.
