Thursday morning in the messy room

Emily, Kailee, Jacob and Chloe visited the messy room on Thursday morning. They had so much fun especially playing in the water tray, the foam tray and Jacob drew a picture too. We also explored the pasta tray and listened to the sounds we could make when we dropped the pasta into the plastic tray. 

Sensory room

Bailey-Star, Brooke and Missy visited the sensory room on Wednesday afternoon. Bailey-Star enjoyed cruising around the room using the low soft play and was excited when moving so quickly her feet! Missy enjoyed wearing the beads around her neck and exploring the den, mirrors and what sounds the musical instruments made. Brooke hid behind the bubble tube and enjoyed feeding balls down the ball tube too. We had so much fun!

Bailey-Star explores the sensory lights.

Missy and Brooke hid in the den. 'Boo' Brooke said!

Brooke and Missy peep at each other from behind the bubble tube.

Brooke looks in the mirror at her reflection.

Bailey-Star bangs the drum with her hands to create sounds.

Missy found 3 wooden boxes and opened them to see what she could find inside.

Missy explored the sensory wall and turned the lights on and off.

Another busy week!

This week Bailey-Star has been using the walker to move across the room. She enjoys pulling herself up at low furniture to stand and her confidence is gaining day by day when being on her feet. Clever girl Bailey-Star!!!

Luke has been reading one of his favourite books about baby animals. Luke said the names of the animals he knew such as 'Tiger' and 'Dog' and he made the sounds 'Ssssss' for snake and 'Roar' for the lion.

Bailey said 'Ah ah ah ah' when we saw the monkey in the book and copied the adult.

Evie has learnt to roll from her back to front and vice versa over the last few weeks. What a clever girl!!! She can rest on her arms and lift her head up to see what's going on and reach toys around her.

Reading Stories

Bailey, Brooke and Missy sat to read some stories on the soft cushions on Wednesday afternoon. 

Bailey read a book about a birthday cake and she used her fingers to lift the flaps to see if she could find the hidden cake. 

Bailey then enjoyed looking at an animal book. We looked at the pictured of the ducks and sang 5 Little Ducks before Bailey found a page with all of the animals on and pointed at some of them. We then made the animal sounds.

Brooke read a story about what we might find in the garden. Brooke turned the pages on her own and pointed to the cat and dog, she then found the paddling pool. We used the word 'splash' for the water.

Missy was excited when reading the stories. She first read one about food and pointed to the objects whilst asking 'what's that'? 

Missy then read a small picture book. We created the sounds of the objects she identified such as 'choo choo' for the train.
