In our English programme Over The Moon, Ella went to visit her granny in Africa. She had great fun visiting an African market, going on a safari trip and eating lots of African foods, especially the fresh fruit and vegetables. We set up an African market at the role play station. We made fruit and vegetable jigsaws. At the fine motor station we threaded shapes like the tribal jewellery for sale at the market. We also completed cut and stick activities. Finally at the art station we enjoyed printing different fruits. We also created polar bears and penguins.

Our aistear theme for October was the farm and the farm shop. At the small world station we set up our own farms. We were busy farmers harvesting fruit and vegetables, looking after the animals and driving our tractors. At the role play station we had a farm shop selling fresh produce from the farm. We played an animal memory game and enjoyed doing autumn and Halloween themed art. We also did some cut and stick activities.

We also went on a walk to look for signs of autumn.
