The Hive

We have enjoyed the sunshine this week. We have been digging in our pots making the soil ready to plant our seedlings. We have enjoyed using the bikes and exploring the small world play outside.

As we love all the stories by Julia Donaldson so much, in the Hive we have made a Donaldson’s Den with all different story retelling and matching activities. We have our fabulous story spoons and small world characters, some talking tins and speech bubbles and some character matching and word building activities. It has been great fun to explore!

We have been working hard with our phonic activities, sorting, matching, blending, decoding, segmenting, reading and writing- phew, busy work!

We have enjoyed some of our favourite stories this week in The Hive. We have looked at different stories by Julia Donaldson and used the story spoons and the small world characters to retell the story.

We practise lots of gross and fine motor skills in The Hive every day- here are some of us working hard with different fiddly bits and bobs to help strengthen our hands, wrists and fingers to gain control and coordination and some of us doing some great balancing and climbing in our sensory circuits to help improve our core strength.

We made sandwiches for the Welcome Home party for the Lonely Beast. we wrote labels and instructions  to explain what we did.

We have been counting and ordering numbers this week, including counting snowballs for the penguins and sorting the number snowmen! Great fun!
