Funky Fingers Club had a fantastic time for their first meeting. In these sessions, we are developing our fine motor and gross motor skills through a variety of activities.
This week, we warmed up with a little dough disco before focusing on our balancing skills outside. We finished the session with a flipper flapper workout!
Stay tuned to see what we get up to next week!
EYFS loved the Halloween disco, we had so much fun dressing up, dancing and playing party games.
Nursery have had a “smashing” time using the kindly donated pumpkins to practise our tool use. We put out fingers to work and hammered in nails and golf tees to our pumpkins. The best part was using the hammers to smash inside!
Today in Reception we have had a Funky Fingers morning. We have completed activities to strengthen our fingers so we can become super writers. Great work Reception!
EYFS had a cheeky visitor today while Mrs Hanratty was in an important meeting, Winnie the Witch. She made potions with the children, adding in slimy snots, rabbit poo, goblin wee and other thoroughly disgusting ingredients.
Once the children said their spell and added the final ingredient, they noticed that their potion fizzed. They poured Mrs Carr and Miss Corr a drink and tricked them into drinking it. They instantly transformed into cats!!! Don’t worry though, the children uttered the magic word to turn them back into teachers.
A magical day for all!
Reception strengthened their fine motor skills this week by rolling clay into a hedgehogs body and used scissors to snip spikes into the top of it. We then added a head and some eyes, we all thought our hedgehogs were super cute.
This week reception have been practising their cutting skills to build their own Scarecrows. We had so much fun making friends for Harry O’Hay and Betty O’Barley from the Scarecrows Wedding.
Reception and Year 6 were very excited to meet their new buddies. We had a lovely afternoon getting to know each other.
EYFS worked well as a team to build our scarecrow. We decided to make Harry O’Hay from our text ‘The Scarecrows Wedding.
Nursery put their cooking skills to the test today and made some harvest soup. The children chopped up the vegetables themselves and we enjoyed smelling the delicious soup floating through the classroom.
Most children gave the soup a big thumbs up but we were so proud of everyone at least trying a bit.
