March Newsletter Chicklets Room News

The Chicklets have had a fun filled February and have been busy celebrating Valentine’s Day at the start of the month. The babies made a lovely craft for their parents for Valentine’s Day which they all took home with them. The Chicklets enjoyed having a sensory light session for Valentine’s Day and enjoyed watching the blocks change to different colours, along with a variety of messy play activities such as exploring pink paint and flour, playdough and shaving foam. This month, the Chicklets have all showed an interest in books and have been choosing the different books to look at from the bookshelf. This month, we introduced a home learning challenge where parents share the little ones’ favourite books. From this, we have been setting up a variety of sensory activities, such as a large-scale colours messy play session where the children made marks and mixed the different colours together. We also created a tuff tray based on the book “A Shark in the Park” for the babies to explore. We have been accessing the outdoor environment every day this month, the babies have enjoyed going on lots of walks to Roundhay Park to say hello to the Swans and have also visited the Secret Garden! The babies have also been exploring the different activities outdoors such as the mud kitchen and the mini obstacle course. The children are becoming more confident in our Tiny Dancers session now and are beginning to join in with the actions with the nursery rhymes. The babies love accessing the little drums they are given and enjoy shaking the shakers to make music.
