October Newsletter Cygnets Room News

This month the new Cygnets children have been exploring their new environment and getting to know the routine. Activities have been set out to follow the children’s interests, from creating a dinosaur world to making pretend ice cream. At the beginning of the month, we celebrated Rosh Hashanah. The Cygnets enjoyed printing with apples, as well as turning pine cones into apples using red paint. We have also enjoyed trying some dishes containing honey. For a snack, the Cygnets loved dipping some apple into honey, which tasted delicious. Our 'Around The World In 30 Days' topic started this month and we have been focusing on 'Nature'. The Cygnets have been exploring activities relating to animals, forests, mountains and rivers. The Cygnets got creative while making hedgehogs out of clay, then pushing sticks into the clay to create their spikes. While playing outside, the Cygnets helped to make a waterfall using loose parts and we used tubes to allow the water to flow down. Finally, to celebrate the start of Autumn, we have been using lots of natural materials to create some beautiful pictures. The Cygnets helped to make paintbrushes out of leaves and flowers, then enjoyed making pictures using mud as paint. We have also been exploring playdough with loose parts such as leaves and pine cones. The Cygnets have also worked as a group to create a large scale picture of an Autumn tree using the colours of Autumn as well as sticking leaves on that we collected from the garden.
