What Dolphins did in September

Our topic for September was Outer Space. Previous to this, a lot of the children had been using a variety of construction materials to build rockets, and talking about going to the moon, so we decided to extend the children’s interest in Space.

The children made planets out of paper plates and decorated black paper with them to make a large space display.

Large boxes were used to make helmets and space suits for the children to become astronauts!

In preschool we used cotton wool and paint to make moon crater pictures, as well as attempting to make water bottle rockets using plastic bottles and bicycle pump!

This month the children particularly enjoyed making paper maché planets.

What Sea Turtles have been up to in September

In September we had a colour month, looking at a different colour every week and exploring colours in different ways!

Children enjoyed exploring and learning about colours using a range of different materials, textures and tools.  They made colour footprints and handprints, tracks through cling film. 

Our new outdoor colour board has been a particular favourite with the children.
