Rascals Ranch Childminding Services

A quiet day for us today, but we still managed to keep busy! We spent the morning planting the pea plants that we have grown from seeds into the pots outside and then went for a walk to see the boats and have a play in the park before the rain started to come down!

Yesterday morning we went to playgroup. We go every week so we can build friendships with other children and practise our sharing and negotiation skills. This week we enjoyed making crowns at the craft table, built some giant towers, did lots of dressing up and used some bigger sized indoor play equipment that we don't have at home. After playgroup, we made some amazing sunflower pictures! We talked about how flowers grow from seeds and looked at some different seeds which we used for the middle of our flowers 🌻🌻🌻

What a lovely week we have had enjoying the sun and spending lots of time learning outside! We have explored capacity and measure with water play, done lots of large scale marking making with sand play, outside painting and by doing tree rubbings (and rubbings of anything interesting we could find in the garden), planted some vegetable and flowers seeds and learnt what we need to make them grow, washed the babies, and had lots of fun with different tools in the mud kitchen.
