As we enter the New Year, our Preschoolers enter the period of preparing for big school! This is a HUGE transition for the children, and here at Monkey Puzzle Hither Green, we begin to formally prepare children for this as early as possible.
Our Inventors have been working on their letter recognition within this interactive sensory activity. They practiced identify letters and the sounds they make, whilst also experimenting with forming different letters over these sensory paint bags- Such a simple and fun way to develop their literacy and writing skills🖌️🔠

Our Investigators children have also been focusing on their emotions and feelings, exploring the names for different feelings and how to manage them using the zones of regulation used across the nursery. The children explored their feelings as they created some beautiful sensory bottles to add into their regulation station. Within this activity our 2 year old's were also given the opportunity to exercise their fine motor skills, using jumbo tweezers to transfer small objects.🌈😁😭😡🥰

Processing big feelings can be very challenging when you're small. Activities such as this one in our fabulous Discoverer's Room are so supportive in helping our toddlers to begin to identify and understand their feelings. The children had the opportunity to explorer our colour monsters, some sensory bottles and other calming resources as they listened to this lovely story.🌈😁😭😡🥰

Sometimes the most simple activities can be the most fun!!
Our Explorers had a wonderful time engaging with this activity to support the development of their motor skills. The children were supported to cruise around the tray, supporting the strength in their legs as they started to practice picking up smaller items as well.
How colourful and fun!!🌈

Science Experiments in Preschool🧪🥼
“Look! its bubbly”
“Wow it’s real lava!”
“It’s getting bigger”
“it’s erupted!”
Our Inventors have continued their volcano topic, beginning to experiment more with the concept of lava and eruptions. They used baking soda and vinegar to see what would happen next as they spoke about real volcanos around the world. WOW!🌋🔥
