The Green Group are continuing to explore some areas in the nursery.
They have been busy exploring the writing and drawing area. Enjoying using the glue and pens. We talked about scissor safety and how we should hold them and use them in the bottom room.
The puzzle table has also been very popular with the Greenies. Some of the children enjoying the challenge of mixing the puzzles together to sort.
We are enjoy dancing in the top room and we had the pompoms out this week! Woo!
The children in the Snug have shown an interest in autumn changes, bringing in leaves they have collected from home. They enjoyed exploring an autumn tuft tray with tweezers, developing their fine motor skills and counting the conkers out. We also used leaves that we collected from the garden to print and glue. We had lots of fun exploring some pumpkin spice playdough too, squashing, patting cutting and smelling it.
This week the Blue Group had lots of fun as they moved around the room like different creatures as they:
Crawled like snails; wriggled like worms; slithered like snakes: galloped like horses and hopped like bunnies!
At the end of the activity the Blue Group noticed that their hearts were beating much faster!!! Some of the children said they were feeling hot, thirsty and ready for snack after all of that exercise!
Our first couple of weeks at nursery have been very exciting!
We explored lots of different areas in the bottom room and made new friends!
There was lots of areas to choose from, some of the children enjoyed playing independently while others played together in the new environment.
We’ve had some fun dancing in the top room and listening to stories. The children enjoyed listening to the story of Jack and the Bean stalk. They were not impressed with the big mean giant!
We also got very creative outside while mark making with the chalk.
Hope you’re all well and staying strong 💚
We know transition is a worrying time and it will be a little different this year. We would like to share this useful link we have been sent that could help you support your children during this time.
We hope you find it useful and stay in touch, we will always be here to help
Gloop Galore!
The Green group explored making and mixing GLOOP!
They mixed the cornflour with the water and watched it drip and droop from their hands! It got very messy!
The children came in dressed up in their favourite costumes and some in their favourite pyjamas this week! They loved showing them off to their friends!
We explored different fairy tale and superhero stories and also made our own masks.
Chinese New Year
This week we carried out lots of different activities in celebration of Chinese New Year. We tried different foods like tasting prawn crackers and noodles with Chinese curry sauce. The children got to make their own mini dragons or dragon kites and did a dragon dance outside using the large dragon head and making music using the drums and shakers. We also explored trying to use chopsticks and sort coloured beans and tried marking some Chinese letters.
Cutting vegetables for George the Hamster
The children worked together to cut snack for George the hamster they sliced a variety of fruit and vegetables discussing likes and dislikes and tasting as they cut segments off. They also talked about textures of the food and that it is healthy for us.
Blue group have been very busy the past two weeks. We had a superhero and princess week where we dressed up as our favourite characters, read fairy tale stories and had a tea party.
We went to forest school this week where the children painted our fence using mud! We had a wonderful time making marks. After all this fun we had a lovely campfire with hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows. We were all amazing, we listened to the instructions on how to stay safe.
Blue group have also been exploring shapes this week. We talked about what shapes we already knew , then we drew them on the white boards .Then we decided to look for familiar shapes in the environment where we decided that the clock in our class room is a circle and our door is a rectangle. After all this hard work the children drew around shapes on large scale paper.
