For Shrove Tuesday, Ladybirds made some delicious pancakes! We had a go at tossing them and then chose what toppings we wanted on the pancake. They were yummy!
Ladybirds enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing spa morning for Mental Health Awareness week. We had foot spas, massages, eye masks, mindfulness colouring and tasty spa treats. What a gorgeous morning we had!
Ladybirds had a fantastic time at Urmston 5th Scout hut. We made a fire with Ben and learnt some fire safety rules. We are looking forward to toasting marshmallows in our next session.
We are enjoying our weekly communication sessions. The children love getting involved with the story, Emma knew all the words to The Bear Hunt and used the props to tell the story. The children were great at sequencing the story, putting the pictures from the book in the correct order. There was lots of amazing communication!.
In Ladybirds we have had a great week celebrating Chinese New Year. We did some art activities with our artist Rachael including making food from playdough, painting lanterns and making Chinese dragons. In class we have also been making some snakes and handprint dragons. As part of our communication, Lauren taught us how to sign Happy New Year in Chinese. Our favourite part of the day was tasting some yummy Chinese food!
Article 30: Children and young people who belong to a minority group have the right to share their culture, language and religion with other people.
Ladybirds have been enjoying some fabulous art sessions with Rachael. Our topic is animals so we focused on the artist Emily Powell. We drew animals, did some monoprinting, made clay animals and drew with ink. The children produced some beautiful pieces of work.
The children in Ladybird class are making huge progress in their swimming sessions with Ann from AEG Aqualinks. Children are showing more confidence each week, putting their heads under water, and displaying some great swimming skills. Children that have been a little nervous at first are coming into the pool with excitement, showing they have built up a strong relationship of trust with Ann.
