What a fun filled Term in Buttercup Class

Buttercup class have been very busy since September. We have been learning the letters  "s & a" in our Jolly Phonics programme. We have done sensory activities such as writing the letters in shaving foam, we have made the letters out of our playdough and we have completed some writing activities also. We have had music therapy every week with Grainne which we have really enjoyed. We have completed many fine motor activities such as squishing balls of playdough, threading beads, cutting and sticking activities, messy play and many art activities. We really enjoyed doing Aistear this month (Learning through Play). Our Theme was Hallowe'en. We had 3 play stations; Dressing up which we loved, Sensory Tuff Tray which was filled with green coloured rice , orange spiders and many other spooky items that we had to find and count. Our third station was our playdough station, each group made green playdough from scratch and then added some googly eyes and legs to make monster spiders!! We enjoyed doing the witches cackle, and the ghosts "Boo"! We especially loved putting spells on each other with our wands!!
We are well ready for our Hallow'en break.
​ Happy Hallowe'en everybody!
