🐸 Fidgety Frogs Weekly Update – Week Ending 26th September 🐸
We’ve had a fruitful final week of our ‘Snacktember’ theme and the Fidgety Frogs have truly embraced the joy of healthy eating and independence in the kitchen!
🍌 Fruit Kebabs & Cutting Skills
This week, the children had the opportunity to ‘eat a rainbow’ by making their very own fruit kebabs. Using child-safe knives, the chopping skills they learned last week and their growing confidence, they chopped up strawberries, cantaloupe, pineapple, kiwi, blueberries and grapes (all the colours of the rainbow) with great care and concentration. It was wonderful to see them beaming with pride as they created colourful, healthy snacks – and even more wonderful to see them enjoy eating their creations!
🍦 Banana Ice Cream Fun!
To celebrate the end of ‘Snacktember’, we made our very own banana ice cream! The children were fascinated to see how frozen bananas could be blended into a creamy, delicious treat with no added sugar. Many asked for seconds (and thirds!) – a sure sign of success.
💃 Get Moving with Danny Go!
We’ve also been focusing on gross motor development this week. The children had so much fun dancing and exercising along to “Danny Go!” a big favourite in class! These energetic sessions helped them explore movement, rhythm, and coordination in such a joyful way.
🏃 Outdoor Adventures
Out in the playground, the Fidgety Frogs have been busy running, jumping, climbing, and riding bikes, building strength, balance, and confidence. It’s been wonderful to watch them challenge themselves and support one another during active play.
💬 Learning Highlights:
Practised fine motor skills through safe knife handling
Developed gross motor skills through active play and movement
Learned about healthy food choices
Explored textures and flavours
Grew in independence and confidence
We’re so proud of how enthusiastic and engaged the children have been throughout ‘Snacktember’. Next week, we’ll be diving into our exciting new theme – stay tuned for more details!
We hope you have had a lovely weekend!
Warm wishes,
The Fidgety Frogs Team 🐸
