This week our theme was Reptiles, and I can proudly say that the Bugs already knew so much about this fascinating topic! 

During our theme discussions, we explored the different types of reptiles, where they live, what they like to eat, and how some reptiles are able to change colour to help them survive in their environment. 

Our art activities were lots of fun this week! The Bugs worked together to create a giant crocodile using toilet rolls, which they painted bright green. They also painted pasta, which we later used for a threading activity to make colourful snakes. This activity was a huge hit and was a wonderful way to strengthen their fine motor skills. Throughout the week, we also spent time practising our cutting skills and enjoyed a few more threading activities to further develop hand-eye coordination. 

At FunFit Sports, the Bugs had an absolute blast playing a game of dodgeball as a team. It was wonderful to see everyone participating, having fun, and encouraging one another. 

We also dedicated plenty of time to concert practice this week. The Bugs have been working hard to learn their songs and actions, and they are becoming more confident with each practice. We are so excited for you to see all of their amazing singing and dancing at the concert! 

 

 

See you all on Monday!

Art, we had a wonderful messy play activity where the Bugs painted a fire underneath a ziplock bag, using their tiny fingers to blend the colours together. We then went on a nature walk to collect pieces of bark, which we glued onto our artwork to make our fires look warm and cosy.
