Chick, chick, chick, chick… CHICKEN!!!

We have Chicks in our NURSERY!! Wooohooo

Yellow group had a very important job to do and that was to make sure our nursery chicks were well looked after! They did an AMAZING job if I do say so myself.

 

We had lots of fun with the chicks.

From watching them wobble, crack and hatch > becoming fluffy > to becoming chirping happy little chicks in their brooding box.

 

The children were always checking on the chicks to see if they were ok. They did a great job helping set up the brooding box and making sure they were always fed and kept warm. We really enjoyed letting the chicks go wild in the top room, some got so excited that they tried flapping away!

 

Yellow group definitely showed they can be super sensible and responsible around animals and are great at looking after them!

 

The chicks have now left the nursery and gone back to the living eggs farm and some have been re-homed to a lovely family that will be taking extra special care of them! Thank You!

 

We also had a lovely surprise visit from Flopsy the nursery bunny. She certainly enjoyed exploring the yellow group room and hopped around to say hi to some of the children.

This week Yellow Group were thinking about Mental Health Awareness and explored lots of different activities. We enjoyed dancing around during the feelings corner game and did some relaxing yoga. You can clearly see which yoga position the children were great at!

The boys and girls thoroughly enjoyed using lots of sparkly glitter, sequins and JEWELS to make calming bottles. They enjoyed shaking them and tipping them upside down and watching the sparkles inside float around.

It was a lovely week discussing our feelings and engaging in lots of calming activities

We went to the Hall Hill Farm. What a lovely day we had. We all were farmers for the day. We saw baby chicks; we held the rabbits and fed the lambs and goats. We walk around the farm and saw pigs and a peacock that showed us his beautiful feathers. We went on a tractor ride and first the day exploring the climbing frame.

We came back to nursery and build our very own farm using natural resources. We talk about what we get from animals and how important it is to look after them.

This week the Blue Group have been very busy getting ready for our visit to Hall Hill Farm. We learned about the life-cycle of a chick as we listened to clues and took part in a treasure hunt outside.  We had group discussions about farm animals and their products and even got to hold the newly hatched chicks, in nursery before they went back to the farm.

It’s been another busy week in the Green Room.  The children made up their own sand stories using a variety of small world resources. Will made a zoo, Heidi made a house and Jake retold Goldilocks and the three bears.  We played with playdough, Ruby made a camera and Lennon made an ice-lolly.  We had loads of fun in Forest School on Friday, climbing, balancing, making fairies and exploring the mud kitchen.  Lilly even pretended to be Miss Pollard.

We have been talking about all the lovely things we did for Mental Health Week in Nursery.  We loved happy dancing with pom-poms for large group time and making friendship bracelets for people we love, but our favourite activity was using lots of jewels and sequins for our sensory bottles. We are so looking forward to the farm visit and are having lots of practice for it by looking after our amazing chicks!
