This week in the 0-2 room

We have taken a big interest in reading lots of different stories lately. Some popular choices of books have included Thomas The Tank Engine, The 3 Little Pigs, Friendly Farm Peek-A-Boo and Our First Word Picture Book where we have been naming the animals, making their sounds and looking at the vehicle pictures such as 'aeroplanes', 'cars', 'trains', 'police cars' and 'motorbikes'.

Bailey has learnt to crawl recently and has been getting very quick when exploring the environment! Clever girl Bailey!

Messy Room Fun!

The children from the 0-2 room often visit the messy room where they explore lots of different textures, equipment and objects using their senses. Luke, Chloe and Martin enjoyed visiting the messy room on Wednesday. They selected objects from the baskets and boxes and explored the play dough, the paints, the shredded paper tray and the sand tray. 

Shakers!

We sang some of our favourite nursery rhymes and used the shakers to make some loud and quiet sounds. We sang 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star', 'Baa Baa Black Sheep', 'Wind The Bobbin Up' and 'Incy Wincy Spider'.

Emily used 2 shakers at the same time to make some loud noises.

Chloe chose to use a shaker with sand in before swapping to make some louder sounds using a shaker which had some pasta and glitter in.

Bailey waved and clapped her hands as we sang our songs and used the shakers.

Jacob shook his shaker fast and moved it up in the air and down to the ground.

Kailee smiled as she shook her green shaker fast!

Farm

Some children in the baby room have really taken an interest in farm animals recently. We have been practicing the noises of the animals and their names, such as 'moo' for the 'cows', 'oink oink' for the 'pigs', 'quack quack' for the ducks and 'neigh' for the horses.

Missy and Chloe explored the animals in the gel. They felt the texture of the gel with their fingers and whole hand. Chloe lifted her hand full of gel to show a familiar adult.

Missy saw the duck. 'Quack' she said.

Chloe rubbed her hands together to feel the gel.

Alicia rocked from side to side as the adult sang 'Baa Baa Black Sheep'. She smiled and clapped when the song had finished.
