Blue Group Bug Hunters

25th May 2022Mrs J Parker

Blue group have shown a big interest in mini-beasts, loving investigating them outside using the magnifying glasses. One of our parents was kind enough to donate a wormery and the children have loved making a safe home for them and collecting worms to go inside. The Hungry Caterpillar story has been popular and learning about the life cycle and how they turn into butterflies. Look at some of our beautiful butterfly symmetry paintings we made. We also tasted the food that the hungry caterpillar ate and made a tally chart to see what we liked and what we didn’t. To extend their interest of bugs Mrs Wood brought in Sid her Giant African Snail from home and the children have been learning how to care for it, chopping up fruit for it to eat and we even had a hold! We thought its shell felt hard and its body was slimy! Some of the children drew Sid the snail and made play dough models of him.

The chicks are here! The chicks are here!

We have had a brilliant 2 weeks watching the chicks hatch and grow.

We received 10 eggs and numbered them 1 to 10. The children all chose which egg they thought would hatch first.

The children helped feed the chicks and even got to hold them! We watched them grow bigger and flap/walk around. They were full of lots of energy!

The children also identified which chicks were girls and which were boys and helped feed them each day.

We have been fortunate to have so much snow this week!

It’s been exciting to explore outside.

The children noticed and identified all the changes that have occurred due to the weather.

We found the frog pond frozen almost solid around the edges and frosty in the middle. The fairy houses were covered in more snow!

We all worked together to make Frank the snowman! The children used wheel barrows and spades to scoop up snow for Mrs Uddin and the children to make Frank.

This week we have been talking about fireworks and how to keep ourselves safe.  First, we listened to the story about Guy Fawkes and why we see and hear fireworks on the 5th of November. We then used a variety of mark making equipment and materials to make colourful firework pictures! We watched a firework display on the white board and used colourful ribbons to make Catherine wheel moves etc., whilst dancing to music.  We also listened to the fire safety story about Frances the Firefly.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

We have had an amazingly fun week at nursery!!

Exploring spooky stories and things that are real and pretend. The children enjoyed exploring all the Halloween areas in the bottom room, there was spiders, webs and witches and lots of other spooky things in cauldrons all around.

We also had a Halloween DISCO!!!

We all dressed up, played lots of games like pass the spider and spooky corners. We had a dance and a fashion parade to show off our costumes and danced some more!

To end we had a delicious party tea in our group rooms where we played even more games! We read Room on the Broom and played pin the nose on the pumpkin and bobbing for doughnuts!

What a great week 🙂

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!

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.
