This week we have been talking about Children in Need and on Monday and
Tuesday the children helped to make cakes. Lots of them dressed in spotty
outfits throughout the week and some even had spotty faces! We have made
dotty/spotty pictures and patterns with glue, paper and scissors, paints and
stickers.
We continued to use our autumn collections to make pictures and some
children made autumn wreaths and arrangements. We used the acorns, conkers
and chestnuts with the paint, making lots of interesting patterns on our
paper. We added leaves and twigs to the sand tray so that we could hide
things and we used spades to fill up our buckets.
We have been acting out the story called ’We’re going on a bear
hunt’. We started off indoors but then developed it further in the outdoor
area. We used lots of props such as materials, logs, tyres, mud in the
tuff spot and we went in and out of the trees. We took it in turns to hold
binoculars, magnifiers and torches when we were searching for the bear.
The bear chased us back to the summer house where we pretended to hide in our
big bed! We have made a big collage of the bear hunt using different
textures so please look out for it on the wall at Squirrels.
At the end of the week some of the children were talking together about
getting married so we planned a big wedding. We dressed up in our special
clothes, and we all had seats to sit on. We had our make up and hair done
in the salon and after the people were married and had put their rings on we all
clapped our hands. We then had our wedding breakfast (which was really
snack time) and one of the children placed a special wedding cake on the
table. After the food we had music and dancing. The children have
asked to do something similar again so next week we may start off
by writing out invitations (practising their mark making/writing
skills).
We have raised just over £76 for Children in Need this week, from
the sale of Cakes and your donations. Thank you very much for your
support.
