Chicklets Room News

The Chicklets have had a lovely September and have done so well settling into the room over the past month! We have been on lots of lovely walks to Roundhay Park and the flower gardens; the Chicklets enjoyed seeing the ducks and the swans in the lake and feeding them some yummy oats! The children also enjoyed looking out for other things in their environment, such as cars, dogs, and lots of trees! The Chicklets have also been getting involved with lots of different messy play setups this month, and we noticed our babies really enjoy water play! They enjoyed splashing in the cool blue water, and trying to find all the different sea animals. We also explored ice texture play in the water, we explored with our hands and felt how cold the ice was on our fingers... ’brrrr’! We watched as the ice started to melt, and all the sea animals were free to swim in the water, which was so much fun! Lastly, we have been enjoying the ‘In The Zoo’ lift-the-flap book, so following on from this interest, we set up a zoo-themed tray that all the Chicklets got involved in! We explored different messy play textures using our transporting schema to transport the messy play to and from in our hands. We spotted all the different zoo animals and spoke about the different noises they make! We’re looking forward to more fun throughout October!
