Minibeasts in Team EO

​This week minibeasts remained our focus in provision, our story of the week was “All About Minibeasts” by Giles Andreae.
Children have had the opportunity to write “What Am I?” cards for different minibeasts using their Fred Fingers. We are having a big focus on Reception choosing to write short captions and sentences independently and are so proud of the writing they are producing – keep it up!
​We have had small world minibeasts to explore and we have continued to create our own junk modelled minibeasts in the creative area! Our funky finger activity was to thread the laces in and out of the different shapes.

In our outdoor area we spotted a beetle and on Welly Walk we took part in a minibeast hunt and had lots of fun!
We have continued to have lots of fun on the tractor tyre. This week we used it to balance on whilst playing a throwing game with our friends. We have also enjoyed practising writing our numerals and playing ‘tic-tac-toe’ with the chunky chalks!
Here are some photos of us having lots fun and doing some wonderful learning in our outside area and on Welly Walk!
