Our Sunshine’s room have had lots of fun learning about winter. The polar role play area was very popular with children acting out different polar animals, learning what to feed them and the marks they make. We have had fun playing in real snow and pretend using lots of descriptive language. We have been developing our counting using the snowballs and our writing skills using different tools. 🐻‍❄️❄️☃️🌨️🏂🏔️🗻🐧🧊

This week in Dalesplay the children have settled back in well. We have had fun playing outside in the snow building snowmen and digging with the different tools. The children have been counting snowballs into the numeral tubs, made igloo and snowmen pictures, practised forming letters in the foam and fed the penguin. We played snowman snap and enjoyed exploring the new polar role play area.
In the ducklings room the children have been taking care of the dolls; dressing them, feeding them and they dressed up as doctors and nurses.
