Monday 6th November 2023
Our art today was based on 'I'm A Little Teapot'. Once again we began by joining in singing our action song, then we used different sticking and gluing techniques to make our own tipping teapots..... they even had a little surprise inside to take home!
The session ended with gathering again for a drink and a couple of songs.
It was lovely to see so many little ones taking part today.
Next Mini Mondays will be 20th November.

Today we started by singing 'Autumn Leaves Are Falling Down' and looking at the beautiful colours of autumn leaves.

We ended our lovely session by singing a song about our little hedgehogs.
